Ebay win: picture stained glass windows

This kind of window very seldom comes up. The last time it did that I remember was about 2 years ago, when I bought them but that was a set of 5 small windows. I love those still but these ones are even more amazing because they're so big. Also fortunately they're in Kent too so not far from the russian chests... we shall make a dash down next weekend probably to pick them all up together! The description for all said "You are bidding for a stained glass window that has been taken out of a gorgeous manor house in Kent. How old these windows are I honestly could not tell you (1920/30's roughly)but I have never seen such lovely colours or fantastic workmanship like this"

The first window: Size of glass (not including frame) - H850mm x W430mm (10 different glass colours). Pane missing where pointing in picture and a crack in small clear glass pane by handle is the only damage
