Description: This antique brass bank teller window cage is a stunning piece that will add character to any space. The intricate design, ornate metalwork, and functioning green stained glass light make it an incredibly unique addition to any collection. It is certain to be a conversation starter. The previous owner said the item came out of a US Bank in the Midwest (most likely Chicago, though he wasn't certain), circa 1930/40s. Unfortunately, there is no documentation for the piece. The cage is made entirely of brass, save for the green stained glass around the light. The metal shows a beautiful, dark, and rich patination. It shows light marks, wear, and aging, but there are no dents or standout blemishes on the piece. There is a bit of white paint on the backside of the light piece where it was resting on a wall. There are three screw holes that secure the backplate of the light. Two of those screws are missing. This can be seen clearly in the last photo. I am currently looking for replacements, but for the moment, the plate is secured by only one screw. I have only lightly cleaned the piece. I have not polished it in any way. The hardwire light has been tested and functions properly. The cage door opens and closes smoothly. The door opens inward. The cage measures 37" H x 22.75" W x 2.5" D. The light extends out 7 inches. The piece is extremely heavy, weighing ~66 lbs. Whether you're a collector of antique brass or just looking for a unique piece to make your home shine, this bank teller window cage is sure to make an impression. The cage would look amazing as the serving window for a home bar. Don't let this piece of American history get away from you! Local pickup would be ideal, but if that's not an option, the item will be shipped very carefully packaged, with signature required for delivery. Please ask if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!
