Thirty years ago we acquired stunning Dutch windows from an antique importer in the Grimsby area. Those windows have since all been sold.
This Fall we bought a collection of windows and doors from a different antique importer. He use to import in containers of antiques from Holland, and his last container arrived approximately 30 years ago.
Like many of us he is down sizing and is tired of moving things from one place to another.
We are now restoring, and reframing the windows. Our restoration artists have been hard at work reinforcing the stained glass windows in the doors.
Some of the windows are entirely constructed with mouth blown glass, and when you look through it you can see the classic look of this glass.
Unlike windows from England or Canada, you sometimes find the colour orange in the windows. Remember, orange is part of the national colour of Holland and one of its famous sporting teams, “Het Oranje Legioen” (The Orange Legion)!
We hope you are able to visit us and enjoy our display of windows from Holland.
