St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Paterson, New Jersey, is voting today on whether to sell 12 Louis Comfort Tiffany-designed windows, plus one by John La Farge. A private collector approached the church with an unsolicited $2 million offer for the stained glass beauties. The would-be buyer wants to dsiplay the windows in a fall exhibition.
Estimates from both Christie's and an independent appraiser have given a wide value range for the set of windows, from $1,260,000 to $2,515,000. A sale would provide funds for the church's endowment.
