HistoryGracie was established in New York City in 1898 by Charles R. Gracie and is still family owned. Mr. Gracie began his business in custom carving. He expanded into Asian antiques in the 20's and 30's, focusing on collecting and dealing in antique Chinese and Japanese furniture, screens and porcelains. During the 1920's, a friend of Mr. Gracie returned from a visit to China with exquisite hand painted wallpapers from a studio in Beijing. Mr. Gracie was enthusiastic and felt that he had a market for this product. A relationship was established with the studio that produced the wallpaper and continued until the Chinese revolution in 1949, when the studio was relocated. The Gracie studio is again in China and has been managed by the same family for over fifty years. Gracie's New York studio features skilled muralists, finishers, and restorers. Our showroom features the lines described above, as well as carefully selected Chinese and Japanese antique furniture and accessories.SpecialtiesHandpainted wallpaper, silk and metallic wallpaper, lacquer furniture, Asian antiques.
