Enchanting Imagination: The Objets d’Art of André Chervin and Carvin French Jewelers introduces André Chervin’s miniature masterpieces—one-of-a-kind lamps, clocks, boxes, personal accessories, and table decorations fashioned from gold, silver, gems and minerals, like rubies, diamonds, sapphires, jade, lapis lazuli, amethyst and quartz. Lavishly illustrated with 110 color photographs, the exhibition catalogue explores Chrevin's captivating treasures conceived and fabricated under his watchful eye. Each object evolved over the course of many years, taking 5, 10, even 25 years to complete to perfection.

Recognized today as masters of fine jewelry-making whose dazzling creations have been sold by top retail houses such as Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, Verdura, Cartier, and Bulgari, André Chervin (b. 1927) and his firm enjoy a stellar reputation among the clients who wear their refined jewelry. Unbeknownst to his many fans, Chervin also created this collection of precious objets d’art, dating from 1957 to 2013.

Religion and the American West: Belief, Violence and Resilience from 1800 to Today invites readers to travel beyond the mythologized “Wild West” and experience a land populated by preachers, pilgrims, and visionaries and home to sacred grounds and cathedrals that kindled spiritual feeling from the woodlands of New York to the valleys of California.

Serving as the the companion publication for New-York Historical Society's exhibition Acts of Faith: Religion and the American West, the book brings together the best scholarship on the subject to provide a comprehensive overview of the ways religion has shaped the idea of the American West, and features more than 100 images that illustrate a varied range of religious expressions. Challenging longstanding definitions of the American West, Religion and the American West provides a new narrative that focuses our attention on the lived experiences of diverse peoples and communities.

Luxury and comfort arrive for the season in our exclusive Louis C. Tiffany Peacock shawl. The featured design pattern comes from the Favrile Peacock Vase (circa 1900 -1906) in the collection of the New-York Historical Society.

A leader of the Art Nouveau movement, Louis C. Tiffany (1902 - 1932) and his designers used his invention of favrile glass to create mouth-blown vases infused with iridescent color.

One of the most prolific and successful artists of the Golden Age of American Illustration, J.C. Leyendecker captivated audiences throughout the first half of the 20th century.

Leyendecker is best known for his creation of the archetype of the fashionable American male with his advertisements for Arrow Collar. These images sold to an eager public the idea of a glamorous lifestyle, the bedrock upon which modern advertising was built. He also was the creator of instantly recognizable icons—such as the New Year’s baby and the Santa Claus that are to this day an integral part of the lexicon of Americana—and was commissioned to paint more Saturday Evening Post covers than any other artist. Chapters include:

The Leyendecker Life
The Leyendecker Look
The Art of Advertising in a Product-Oriented Society
Master of the Magazine Cover
Book Illustration
Posters: The People’s Art
And more!

Leyendecker lived for most of his adult life with Charles Beach, the Arrow Collar Man, on whom the stylish men in his artwork were modeled. The first book about the artist in more than 30 years, J.C. Leyendecker features his masterworks, rare paintings, studies, and other artwork, including the 322 covers he did for the Post.

Oversized, and filled with hundreds of popular and rare images, with a revealing text that delves into both his artistic evolution and personal life, J.C. Leyendecker: American Imagist restores this iconic image maker’s rightful position in the pantheon of great American illustrators and artists.

Under Cover: J.C. Leyendecker and American Masculinity examines the work and influence of J.C. Leyendecker, a preeminent illustrator and commercial artist who helped shape American visual culture in the first three decades of the 20th century and whose illustrations for a mainstream audience often had unspoken queer undertones. On view May 5, 2023 - August 13, 2023.

Our MOVA Rotating Antique Terrestrial Globe White is a timeless beauty that displays every continent and ocean with clarity and contrast, featuring lines that trace the three voyages of Captain James Cook –a design element first created in 1790 by Giovanni Maria Cassini. The design also shows the United States which was very young at the time and not included on many contemporary maps. Gorgeous and captivating, this masterpiece of craftsmanship brings the past to life, creating a graceful and intricate rotational show for the office or home.

These handcrafted Mova Globes use hidden solar cells powered by ambient light, while the earth’s magnetic field provides the necessary torque, allowing the globe to rotate within a clear outer shell. Globes come with an elegant three-finger stand but work on any stand or surface (except for those made of iron or a metal alloy that can be magnetized).
