A Tiffany Studios stained-glass window, the Goddard Memorial Window, sold for $4.2 million at Christie's Design Sale on June 12, 2025, exceeding its high estimate of $3 million. Commissioned in 1909 by Mary Edith Jenckes Goddard for St. Luke's Episcopal Church in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, the window features a pastoral landscape with an apple blossom tree, symbolic of youth. The sale follows a surge in the Tiffany window market, including a record $12.4 million sale at Sotheby's in November 2024 and recent acquisitions by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Crystal Bridges Museum.
The sale underscores the growing demand for rare Tiffany Studios windows, driven by their scarcity—most remain installed in churches and historic homes. The Goddard Memorial Window's strong performance reflects the broader market momentum for Tiffany works, which have seen prices triple in recent years. Proceeds from the sale will support St. Luke's Church's missions and endowment, highlighting how religious institutions are leveraging art-market booms to fund their operations.
