Tiffany "Moorish" Chandelier - First Presbyterian Church
1 Symphony Circle, Buffalo, NY


The Tiffany “Moorish” Chandelier was commissioned by the First Presbyterian Church, circa 1892. It is 72 inches ling and 38 inches in diameter.


Originally, it hung in the chancel (see black and white photo below).
  Subsequently, it was moved to the  church offices.  It was later sold in 2006.

 

On February 7, 2026, the chandelier was again sold, this time in auction by Fontaine’s Auction Gallery – for $400,000.

 

All the photographs below were posted online by Fontaine’s and reprinted on this website. 


There are three other Tiffany chandeliers in the  nave and transept of the church.
