About this Event
Jewelry and decorative arts historian Levi Higgs and New York City historian and tour guide Keith Taillon takes us on a virtual tour to share jewelry stories behind famous buildings around NYC. Taillon (@keithyorkcity) has been curating walking tours all over Manhattan, after he set out to walk and document the history of every single street in Manhattan in 2020. Levi Higgs (@levi_higgs) is a New York-based decorative arts historian and Head of Archives & Brand Heritage at David Webb. In this conversation, they will share some of the city’s most storied Gilded Age mansions and Art Deco wonders, as well as jewels that have reflected similar architectural elements. Connecting aesthetics and stories across disciplines will help reveal a deeper understanding of the context of design history, and these two experts in conversation will illuminate these topics for all.
