  • Wendy Moonan, of The New York Times, announced "PRIMAVERA MOVES" in her Antiques column, May 18, 2007. "After 35 years on Madison Avenue, Primavera Gallery has moved to a large, light-filled space in Chelsea on the eight floor of the 210 Eleventh Avenue, at 25th Street. Primavera has long specialized in the late -19th-century and 20th-century decorative objects (jewelry, glass, ceramics, silver), paintings and furniture, like Poillerat, Pascaud, Arbus, Adnet, Chareau, and Printz. Unlike most dealers in the decorative arts, the owners, Audrey Friedman and her husband, Haim Manishevitz, also have vitrines full of antique jewelry, from Bulgari, Boucheron, Chaumet, Cartier, Mauboussin, Verdura, Suzanne Belperron, Seaman Schepps and Jean Schlumberger. 'Our emphasis is on signed pieces from Art Deco through the 1950s, not large diamonds or masses of precious stones,' Ms. Friedman said. The shop also has a large selection of French and Italian glass, from Daum, Emile Galle and Lalique to Venini; and modern lamps, which may explain the gallery's popularity with decorators.

 

  •  The Magazine Antiques interviewed Audrey Friedman for their Collecting 101 column. See "Not Your Mother's Jewelry: A Conversation with Audrey Friedman of Primavera Gallery" from October 2007. 

 

  • PRIMAVERA GALLERY was praised in "Granny's Tasteful Old Gold," a review that was featured in New York Social Diary on October 15, 2007, for our exhibition at The International Art + Design Fair

 

  • Art and Antiques Magazine recently wrote about our collection of Gio Ponti pieces in "Industrial Strength" (11.01.2007). This article is not to be missed for collector's of Ponti's work.

  •  The Palm Beach Post (January 27, 2008) states that Art Deco Adds Panache To Any Home... "Regardless of the decor of your home, if you 're interested in Art Deco, you can find something to suit the space." says our very own Audrey Friedman. The ebonized pear wood armchairs by Adnet, the Maison Desny table lamp and the Puiforcat tea-and-coffee service are all available at Primavera Gallery.

  • The Palm Beach Illustrated (February 2008) featured our complete Desny cocktail set. This is something that belongs in a museum because it is so hard to come by the entire set: coupes, tray and shaker! Come see it for yourself on display at our gallery.

  • Both Wendy Moonan (Antiques: Nostalgia So Soon, October 3, 2008) and Benjamin Genocchio (Weekend Arts, Classic Modern: 20th Century Antiques, October 3, 2008) of The New York Times, fell in love with our Phillip Lloyd Powell carved walnut dresser as seen in our booth at the International Art + Design Fair. Genocchio wrote, "Beautiful, elegant objects abound, beginning at Primavera with a hand-carved wood chest of drawers (from the 1960s) by the American designer Phillip Lloyd Powell, who produced no more than a 1,000 pieces of furniture. Low to the ground, it is very organic looking, in the manner of the best Art Nouveau pieces. It was bought from a Parisian antiques dealer who acquired it from an expatriate American."
