original door with venetian frosted glass
Original door with Italian frosted venetian glass for sale. Already taken out and replaced. 25 3/8 by 81 3/8, 1 3/4 wide. Currently covered with white paint. If stripped and refinished, will look great and is a real treasure. Also, 2 wood window panes with the same glass, probably not worth restoring as the wood is slightly damages but the glass itself should be worth something. Best offer in cash gets it. Pick up in Sunset Park. Not the best picture but you can get the idea

What makes the glass Venetian?

I admit my ignorance about this, that's what I heard it's called from others. I always thought it's because of the intricate design. It looks like many little three-dimentional flowers with multiple tiny petals on one side, and flat on the other side.

Hard to tell, but that looks like common Florentin glass to me.

I think brooklynnative is right, this is called florentine glass, not venetian, sorry for the confusion, here is how it looks: http://petchhouse.blogspot.com/2007/02/this-is-spooky.html
To rubytoday: the window panes are 24 by 24, same glass.
