    Maybe lay a large piece of tempered glass over the whole top for strength and protection from spills.

    I've seen examples of this style of glass...both modern & antique.

    the OP representation actually looks fairly modern 20th century. but still holds value to the right buyer.

    It's worthless as a window in most cases. but the glass panes in excellent condition could bring hundreds. It may be one piece with simulated mullion dividers. I'd like to see a pic of the reverse side.

    one clue is the glazing (the part holding the pane(s) in place in the sash), appears to be applied wood molding. an antique piece would have oil based putty glazing..."tooled" with the same appearance.

    I would say it could pull a Benjamin pretty easy. My mom goes to flea markets looking for stuff like this. She found a stain glass window that she was looking to buy for $180, but the lady in front of her bought it. If i was in the market for a piece like that i would probably pay $75-100 and still say i got a pretty good deal.

    Looks like a lava lamp exploded on it.... I dig it... nice find...Also if you run across old doors (interior or exterior) with original glass knobs, get them highly desirable & high resale value as well

    Interior designers might be interested in it, and they might pay more than an antique dealer will. There are plenty of rich people out there that will pay retarded amounts of money for something like this in their home.
    A friend of mine is an interior designer, and she recently put an antique door on someone's wall for a hefty sum. :confused: They are always looking for old antique wood from barns and houses to build new stuff. I'm sure they could use an old window.

    I bought an old window with 8 panes of glass, the plan was to put pictures behind the glass and hang on the wall, but just hanging it on a wall looks good enough
    Use it as a piece of art and hang in the living room
