Description
Princess Natalie Pavlovna Paley (1905-1981) was a twentieth-century icon. She was a muse, model, actor, and socialite. Born to Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich (1860-1919), uncle of Emperor Nicholas II of Russia, and Princess Olga Valerianovna (1865-1929), Natalie enjoyed an idyllic childhood in Boulogne-sur-Seine, France, just outside of Paris. She rose from her family’s fabled and tragic history -- and left a stylish and indelible mark on the century’s culture and design. This unique exhibition is the first to explore her exceptional glamour and enigmatic life. This exhibition was inspired by Hillwood’s acquisition of 335 pieces that once belonged to Paley and the Romanovs, including imperial portraits, rare linens, and essential archival documentation from five generations of the family. Lunch is on your own at the on-site café.
