They take panes
I believe the answer is:
sashes
'they take panes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for sashes that I've seen before include "They're worn over shoulders" , "They hold the glass in window frames" , "Broad bands worn over the shoulder" , "Fabric bands worn around body" , "Ornamental cloth bands me father wore in song?" .)
