My other timber windows in the extension about 10 years old and are fine /can tell the previous owners didn't really maintain them. Buying the right material and having it well painted beforehand helps.
My parents' house was built in 1906. The windows have had some work, of course, but they are all still the original frames etc. mostly original glass as well. They just need a bit of care. My dad restored the house from about 1990-2000, and since then he's just had to repaint them every ten years or so.
