FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TODAY !
An extremely rare original confessional from Germany which survived numerous bombings during WW2. This piece has been professionally restored at a considerable cost by an individual who has done numerous projects of this nature and the results as seen in the photos are an amazing piece of history. It\'s not certain which church it actually came from . One possibility a (guess) was a large cathedral located in Cologne which likely survived numerous bombings during WW2. This is just and educated guess but any prospective buyers can have it inspected by a licensed appraiser and authenticated prior to purchase at the buyers expense. This certainly falls under the antiquities period due to age. The wood is actually European Pine which is a hardy long lasting wood unlike American pine. The hinges are original and there is a photo in this listing showing that. Photo number 12 is the actual purple colored wool lined curtain which can be easily mounted on the the priest/ ministers door. The curtain is lined heavily with wool to protect against cold , wind, and drafts. There are only a few pieces that are not original and that would include the latch lock that holds the priest/ ministers door closed , one of the finials, and the left rear portion of the base has a 6\" x 12\" wood patch which are all hardly noticeable . So, we\'ll estimate it to be 90-95% original ! The actual hinges are original from that time period and can been seen in photo number eleven. The sides are open for the parishioners making their confessions openly which is typical for the 1800\'s period. This is a one of a kind piece and perhaps the only one available for sale anywhere. As you can tell by the photos it looks amazing in a large private residence ! The actual weight is unknown but can be calculated prior to shipping or by the actual shipper. I have listed this as local pick ( because something has to be filled in to complete the listing) as there is no real way to establish an accurate calculation say perhaps to Europe or Asia. The Continental USA has many good shipping options such as USHIP.com where highly rated expert haulers actually offer on the shipment which for the buyer creates an advantage or large cost savings on actual packing and shipping charges.
