Victorian "Sick Room" Window

$350.00

Because every sick room deserves a sick window.

This Victorian era sash is not shy about it clinical origins. The recessed brass pull and the continuous grooves along the top and bottom denote its use on a slider track - alluding to its function to control the flow of information, medication, or contamination! It’s hard not to think about the epidemics and the many cases it has been witness to through the ages. But despite all that, she’s looking quite spry. Its reverse-painted header, with its scarlet red serifed lettering over a lemon yellow background, is still crisp and clear. Its walnut frame with incise carved corner detailing and ebonized inner trim still shine as the day they were assembled.

If you have read thus far, we assume you have a curious and perhaps more macabre sense of wonder? If so, we want to what you would do with such a piece! Perhaps employ as wall decor, a frame for art or photos? Put a mirror behind it and use it in your statement powder room? To reinstall as a slider, or just hang in a window to enhance the view? Let us know… you weirdo!
