Gilded Age-Inspired Floral Exhibit at Lyndhurst

Tickets are on sale for Fleurs de Villes THE GILDED AGE , a fresh floral mannequin exhibition inspired by the Emmy-nominated HBO original series The Gilded Age , coming to Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown from Dec. 4–13. The exhibition brings together fresh floral artistry, the opulence of the renowned series and the estate’s celebrated Gilded Age Christmas décor. The floral mannequins are inspired by the series’ characters, lavish costumes and opulent world, each created by local floral designers. A filming location for The Gilded Age , Lyndhurst offers visitors an opportunity to experience the exhibition within the very rooms featured in the HBO drama. The estate’s interiors portrayed the home of Charles and Aurora Fane, while its grounds doubled as Central Park, its 1894 Bowling Alley became a ferry terminal, and its Carriage House was transformed into The New York Globe offices. The estate’s third owner, railroad magnate Jay Gould, helped inspire the fictional character, George Russell. Each floral mannequin interprets the series’ distinct characters and opulent style — from the bold, aspirational gowns of Bertha Russell to the refined traditionalism of Agnes van Rhijn, the understated elegance of Marian Brook and the poised, modern perspective of Peggy Scott — bringing the elegance and intrigue of The Gilded Age to life in full bloom. Visitors are invited to vote for their favorite floral mannequin, watch live floral demonstrations by local floral designers, enjoy refreshments at the pop-up French café, The Gilded Café, and explore a curated selection of finds at the House of Brinson pop-up boutique. The exhibition will be complemented by Lyndhurst’s seasonal Gilded Age Christmas décor, adding an extra touch of holiday magic to the experience. “As a mansion belonging to Jay Gould, one of the main historic figures of the real Gilded Age and a model for George Russell of the television series, Lyndhurst provides the perfect backdrop for Fleur de Ville’s holiday display,” said Karen Marshall , co-founder of Fleurs de Villes. “These floral creations will be complimented by our lavish holiday decor and by a special seasonal display of luxury handcrafts, embroidery, and rarely seen pieces from the Lyndhurst collection. “ Season 4 of The Gilded Ag e is now streaming on HBO Max.
