My wife and I purchased a stained glass window recently. It was smoke damaged with a couple of small broken pieces of glass and some loose lead We had it repaired, cleaned and the stained glass person indicated it was old ( what ever that means).
I have posted picts at

of the glass is painted in black that creates the pattern. itsabout 4-5' tall and 2' wide and has reinforcement built into the piece. The person that sold it to us stated it came from a burned church in LA California. He also stated that the church was built in the late
1700's. FWIW! We did not buy it because of the age but because we thought it would clean up into something interesting.
What we are looking for is help in determining how old it is and what the provenance of the piece is. We presently have it in a window to keep it safe but are intending on placing it in a light box in a group of book cases in the living room. any help here would also be appreciated.
it has an Orthodox Church feel to me but did other churches use the same style at times?
Any leads or suggestion about how we might find out more would be appreciated.
