The Cartiers and Marjorie Merriweather Post
About This Event
Experience an exclusive behind-the-scenes virtual tour of Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens, exploring the remarkable jewelry collection of Marjorie Merriweather Post, one of America's wealthiest and most sophisticated collectors. This online webinar examines Post's relationship with Cartier New York and the extraordinary pieces she commissioned, including magnificent jewels created from imperial Russian stones after the revolution. Discover how Pierre Cartier's understanding of Post's tastes and his access to exceptional gems from Russian collections led to some of the most important jewelry sales in Cartier's American history. The presentation features close-up views of pieces rarely accessible to the public.
