Architecture Of The 15th Century - Small Tower Window

15th century architecture Window frame of a tower, circa 1420/1450
Room that can form a pendant with several of our other openings from the 16th century.
The source is a ruined Renaissance period house near Chaumont in Haute Marne.
Carefully dismantled by us, this hard limestone window frame presents a cavetto molding typical of the XV th Century.
The diagonal splaying of the interior sides is characteristic of this period when small openings retained heat inside the home while allowing maximum exterior light to enter.
When the assembly is installed, it is quite remarkable to note how this type of opening with an open angle towards the interior diffuses daylight very widely, whereas our current windows limit the light to the opening rectangle and retains the diffusion of the day as wide as possible in the room.
This discreet and charming piece of architecture from the late medieval period will perfectly adorn a lime-jointed rubble wall.
The ocher patina of the stone worn from 4 centuries of use will harmonize perfectly with interior lime coatings enhanced with natural pigments.

Opening 45 cm high and 35 cm wide.
The whole thing measures 73 cm in overall height and 60 cm in overall width.
The depth is to be inserted into a wall of at least 50 cm.

Of course ! Assembly recommended, even required and essential by ethics... with lime!!

All the disassembled parts weigh less than a hundred kilos and can easily be loaded into a car trunk.
