Gifted

- Stained glass window restoration project Frame 53cm (21in) high by 56 (22in) wide. This was bought by my wife online but was damaged in transit. The frame needed stripping and repainting anyway.

It is not economical to have it professionally repaired, so something for someone who knows what they are doing really. Please say when you can collect if replying. Collection from Mackworth please.
