All the ALVR Jewel Highlights in the Winter Show 2023
By Annie Davidson | January 17, 2023
New York's annual Winter Show is just around the corner. From Jan. 20 through 29, the Park Avenue Armory (643 Park Avenue) will host some of the country's best art, antiques, and design objects as well as special events, luncheons, panel discussions, and more.
Among the exhibitors, and certainly one worth highlighting, is antique and estate jeweler A La Vieille Russie (ALVR): a family-owned-and-operated venture founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 1851 before establishing itself in New York in 1941, presently at 745 Fifth Avenue.
Known for specializing in the work of Carl Fabergé (who was once a client), ALVR has a vast Fabergé collection (including the late jeweler's famous Imperial Easter eggs and pieces he made specifically for Romanov court members in Russia at the turn of the last century) as well as plenty of European and American antique jewels and objets d'art such as rare, 18th-century European snuff boxes (a jewelry enthusiast's or art history buff's dream).
Below, we've rounded up a few highlights that ALVR will be presenting at the upcoming Winter Show—from vintage Cartier to art deco coral, and one massive, statement-making bombé cluster ring. ALVR will showcase these pieces and more alongside Didier LTD, Simon Teakle, James Robinson, and other fine jewelry galleries during the show. Ticket prices range from $40 for day passes to $250 for collectors passes.
