Maison Gerard

Maison Gerard was founded by Gerardus A. Widdershoven in 1974 and established a reputation as New York’s premier source for French Art Deco furniture. Gerard set a high standard emphasizing authenticity, historical context, and expertise. In the late 1990s, Benoist F. Drut joined as a partner, and he broadened the gallery’s scope to include contemporary design. Today, the gallery’s offering spans genres and periods, a body of work as well grounded in the past as it is attuned to the future.
