I am passing on information that might be of interest to some Chaucerians.
It has come to our attention that a Victorian stained glass roundel depicting Chaucer is currently up for sale by an antiques dealer in the UK. Further details on the nineteenth-century stained glass roundel can be found below, if anyone is interested. I would like to note that the NCS is in no way promoting the company selling the artefact or its services. But given the relevance to Chaucerian studies broadly speaking, we thought that it might be worth bringing this to members’ attention.

Declaration: Geoffrey Chaucer: Nineteenth Century Stained Glass Roundel Window has been declared an antique and is approved for sale on sellingantiques.co.uk.
