Jewish Tiffany dealer Lillian Nassau in her store on Third Avenue and 56th
Street in New York
went on to command. A Tiffany
Cobweb lamp sold for $400 when first
introduced in 1904 but was valued at
$33,000 by Nassau in 1972. One
Cobweb lamp sold for $360,000 in the
1980s. A mosaic Lotus lamp sold for
close to $3 million at auction in the
1990s.
Nassau's store, along East 57th
Street, was in an area referred to as
"antiquary row" by Filler, who also
recalls another Jewish Tiffany dealer,
Mina Rosenblatt, now 91 and retired
from the business she had for 50
years.
At Congregation Shearith Israel, the
valuable Tiffany windows have been
glazed to give them a layer of protec-
tion to avoid breakage and keep their
beauty intact. One image of the syna-
gogue's Tiffany windows must be
opened to enter the congregation's
Web site.
"The east windows are especially
beautiful," says Alan Singer, executive
director. "They have a strong yellow
color as they face the direction of the
rising sun and Jerusalem as the direc-
tion for prayers:' ❑
