A superb original finished watercolour study by Margaret Chilton. A stained glass window design for a war memorial at the Daniel Stewart’s College, Edinburgh. Photos 9 and 10 are from the professional report of the windows before they were refurbished. Painting size approximately ; 24-inch x 10 1/4-inch (61-cm x 26-cm). Frame size approximately; 36-inchx 22 1/2-inch (91.5-cm x 57.2-cm). Thank you for your inquiry regarding the stained glass window design. I can confirm that this is indeed a memorial window in the Ante Chapel of Old College which was completed in 1932 as part of a refurbishment of the Chapel and creation of a new Ante Chapel as a World War 1 War Memorial. The Ante Chapel was then altered to be used as a memorial following World War 2. The Ante Chapel has recently had a complete refurbishment with the wood all being cleaned and French polished. I attach a professional report on all the stained glass as well as a photo taken before the refurbishment of the window in situ. See pages 12 and 19 in particular. I hope you find this useful.
