A rare English confectioner’s stained-glass window frieze
from a George V Chocolate Shop window
comprising a rectangular central overdoor panel flanked by a pair of rectangular window headers, in leaded stained glass (unframed), each centred with a gift-box of chocolates within an oval: the central in pink and ribbon-tied, the wider panels with the lid flapped back revealing wrapped chocolates; each indistinctly labelled "Chocolates",
£995 the three panels
The “Chocolate” script on each box is worn – to the point of being indistinguishable – not unusual for shop signage when lettering is often applied after the leading and not fired. It could be re-painted (please enquire).
