The Gilded Years of the late nineteenth century were a vital and
glamorous era in New York City as families of great fortune sought
to demonstrate their new position by building vast Fifth Avenue
mansions filled with precious objects and important painting
collections and hosting elaborate fetes and balls. This is the
moment of Mrs. Astor's "Four Hundred," the rise of the Vanderbilts
and Morgans, Maison Worth, Tiffany & Co., Duveen, and Allard.
Concurrently these families became New York's first cultural
philanthropists, supporting the fledgling Metropolitan Museum of
Art and the Metropolitan Opera, among many institutions founded
during this period. A collaboration with the Museum of the City of
New York, Gilded New York examines the social and cultural history
of these years, focusing on interior design and decorative arts,
fashion and jewelry, and the publications that were the progenitors
of today's shelter magazines.
