New York Historical Society – Enchanting Imagination – 2023

See the works of one of the most acclaimed makers of handcrafted fine jewelry in the world André Chervin, with his New York atelier, Carvin French.


“Enchanting Imagination: The Objets d’Art of André Chervin and Carvin French Jewelers is a dazzling exhibition of meticulously created objets d’art, on view to the public for the very first time.”


Previously unknown to the public eye, each Carvin French piece tells a story–which spanned over decades and extended beyond jewelry.


“These enchanting one-of-a-kind lamps, clocks, figurines, boxes, personal accessories, and table decorations, are fashioned in gold and silver, with gems such as rubies, diamonds, and sapphires and masterfully carved semi-precious stones like jadeite jade, lapis lazuli, amethyst, and rock crystal quartz.” New York Historical Society
