The rich and varied collection of The Museum of Modern Art constitutes one of the most comprehensive and panoramic views into modern art in the world. From an initial gift of eight prints and one drawing, The Museum of Modern Art's collection has grown to include over 100,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and drawings, and design objects. MoMA also owns some 19,000 films and four million film stills, and MoMA's Library and Archives, the premier research facilities of their kind in the world, hold over 160,000 books, artist books, and periodicals, extensive individual files on more than 70,000 artists, and archival materials related to modern and contemporary art.

Now more than ever consumers appreciate that everything we live with-from tape dispensers to dish racks-can, and should be, well designed. The Museum of Modern Art has played a significant role in creating this awareness, through the establishment of its celebrated design collection in 1934 and its ongoing series of design exhibitions. The MoMA Photo Collection shares this view, and we are pleased to offer all of their designs that that span nearly a century. Some of the earliest items are enjoying huge renewed interest-proof of the enduring quality of good design-and some of the latest, perhaps with the help of the Internet, are finding appreciative audiences around the world within months of their introduction. While technology has provided new materials and methods of production, the concept remains the same-thoughtfully designed products improve our everyday lives.

American accessories designer Kate Spade is both the epitome and antithesis of the all-American girl. There is something charmingly familiar, yet wonderfully original about Kate. She brings sophistication and wit to her designs and the gracious spirit of her company clearly reflects Kate's appreciation for propriety and her vibrant sense of humor.

While a senior accessories editor at Mademoiselle Magazine, Kate was always searching for the quintessential personal accessories. Not finding many to suit her own personal style, Kate struck out on her own. With then-boyfriend, now-husband, Andy Spade, Kate founded "kate spade handbags" in 1993. They identified a void in the market, took a risk, and Kate designed six simple silhouettes that emphasized color, fabric, utility, and a keen sense of personal style.

The company has continued to grow as Kate brings her wonderful sensibility to a unique array of items. Her affection for the photographs prompted her to launch kate spade photo and stationery in 1998. Nearly every year since has brought an exciting new addition to the world of kate spade.

Kate Spade quietly revolutionized the personal leather market with her clean design aesthetic and is now celebrated as America's most beloved and honored accessories designer. SendAFrame is proud to feature her exclusive Photo Accessories Collection in its entirety for your shopping pleasure.

Nambé. What's in a name?

Nambé possesses a certain mystique. Partly its their name and connection to the landscape, culture and history of their origins. Nambé (pronounced nom-BAY) was christened for a tiny village near Santa Fe in Northern New Mexico where the company was founded in 1951.

But there's more to it, this mystique, which makes Nambé the "lifestyle" brand valued by people who love simple, elegant designs and love to share them with others.

The most distinguishing characteristic of Nambé is that the company is devoted as passionately to form as it is to function.  Nambé products are created with two primary objectives: functionality and elegance. “Dedicated to Design” has been their guiding principle in the design and production of every Nambé original.

Nambé has established and constantly refines a “design vocabulary”, and within those parameters they offer their designers free rein. Frames range in style from organic to man-made; from ancient forms to modern elegance.

In every state of Nambé’s development they have searched out America’s finest product designers. Their visionary artists represent a wide range of influences and styles. Many of their artists are already recognized as major influences in the design world, while others are being closely watched as exciting new stars.

Early on, discerning buyers and customers of prestigious stores like Neiman-Marcus, Saks 5th Avenue, Bloomingdale’s and Gump’s discovered Nambé. Museums added Nambé to their collections and exhibits. For its beauty, quality and heirloom value, Nambé became a favorite gift, especially for brides. The collection grew and became a world brand.

Care & Use

Nambé Metal

Hand-wash your Nambé metal with mild soap, a soft sponge and water. Dry immediately with a soft clean cloth. Not recommended for the dishwasher. Never leave Nambé in standing water.

Use care when placing heavier Nambé pieces on glass surfaces.

Nambé Polish with 0000 steel wool may be used on bowls, platters, plates and casseroles. Do not use the Polish or steel wool on any other Nambé items. Window cleaner and a soft cloth may be used for light cleaning. Silver or other metal polish is not recommended for Nambé items.

Should you care to have your Nambé metal re-polished, contact the Nambé customer service department for details at 1-800-443-0339.

Each Nambé piece goes through a series of shaping, grinding, buffing and polishing steps. Slight imperfections found on Nambé’s brilliant finish is characteristic of the sand-casting process, and since Nambé is handcrafted, no two pieces are exactly alike.

Nambé Crystal

Crystal is a fragile material and requires delicate handling.

Displaying in sunny windows for extended periods is not recommended. Hot water or sudden temperature changes may cause piece to break.

To wash, use very warm water - not hot - and any kind of detergent that is free of abrasives.

Hand dry immediately with a soft cotton cloth to prevent spotting.

Window-cleaning liquid or rubbing alcohol can be used to clean any of the crystal pieces.

If a chip is discovered, take your piece to a local crystal shop or crystal engraver for sanding.

Removing stains: Swirl a handful of uncooked rice in a solution of lemon juice or vinegar and warm water to remove residue inside a decanter or vase.

Tougher stains: Try warm water with a denture cleaning tablet, allowing it to soak.

In 1849 John Caldwell Bloomfield inherited the Castlecaldwell estate, which encompassed the village of Belleek, from his father. Mindful of the plight of his tenants in the aftermath of the potato famine he sought to provide some form of worthwhile employment. An amateur mineralogist, he ordered a geological survey of his land. To his delight it revealed the necessary raw materials to make Pottery - feldspar, kaolin, flint, clay and shale.

The village of Belleek, whose name in Gaelic, Beal Leice, translates to "Flagstone Ford" was a natural choice to locate the business especially the part of the village known as Rose Isle. This small isle provided the best opportunity to leash the yet untamed power of the River Erne - power to drive a mill wheel strong enough to grind components into Slip, the term applied to liquid potters clay.

By as early as 1865 the company had established a growing market throughout Ireland and England and was exporting pieces to the United States, Canada and Australia. Prestigious orders were being received from Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales and the nobility.

Porcelain was featured by Belleek for the first time at the Dublin Exposition of 1872. Their display was the largest in the Irish and English industrial areas. Among the pieces listed in the catalogue for the event are Parian china statues and busts, ice buckets, compotes and centerpieces.

Belleek's reputation has been built on product excellence. Back in 1857, the pottery's founder John Caldwell Bloomfield declared that any piece with even the slightest flaw should be destroyed. This golden rule is still employed.

The History of Waterford® Crystal

Waterford Crystal designs and crafts an extensive line of crystal frames. The company has a strong and dedicated commitment to creating prestigious products - for gift giving and home decorating.

The beginnings of glass making in Ireland are lost in the mists of time but there is sufficient archaeological evidence to show that, from the early Iron Age, glass was regarded with respect. Indeed, medieval documents can prove glass making existed in Ireland back in the middle 13th century.

The company of Waterford was first established in 1783 on land adjacent to Merchants Quay in the heart of the Irish harbor town of Waterford. Its founders were two brothers, William and George Penrose, who were important developers and principal exporters in the city. Their vision was to "create the finest quality crystal for drinking vessels and objects of beauty for the home."

The brothers were important developers and the city's principal exporters. The development, they told the Irish Parliament, cost £10,000 - a great deal of money in the 18th century.

They employed 50 to 70 people, led by a fellow Quaker, John Hill, from Stourbridge in England, and succeeded in producing crystal with a purity of color unmatched in Ireland or England. Merchant ships sailed regularly from the port of Waterford with cargoes of crystal bound for Spain, the West Indies, New York, New England and Newfoundland.

But less than 100 years later the initial company failed due to lack of capital and excessive taxation. In what seems like a remarkably short time, Waterford Crystal acquired an unequalled reputation for creation of beautiful objects and designs, but its operations lay dormant.

Another century passed before the enterprise was revived. In 1947, while Europe was still in ruins after the second World War, a small glass factory was set up in Waterford just 1½ miles from the site of the original glass factory.

Waterford® Crystal Today

Today, Waterford Crystal has very strong links with its illustrious predecessor. There is today the same dedication to the purity of color, to the same design inspiration and to the same pursuit of highest quality levels possible. The traditional cutting patterns made famous by the artisans of Waterford became the design basis for the growing product range of the new company.

Waterford Crystal, today, is the leading brand of premium crystal. Its products - superb handcrafted frames are designed and manufactured to the highest standards.

In 2004, Waterford celebrated the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Lismore pattern of crystal. Almost every year since its inception, Lismore has topped the popularity list and has been the biggest selling pattern of crystal in the US and the world.

Waterford Crystal® has become almost a synonym for the finest quality crystal sought after by collectors and connoisseurs around the world. Each piece of Waterford can be recognized by the signature on the base of the frame with the word "Waterford".

About Kenneth Jay Lane

Elle Magazine has called Kenneth Jay Lane "the hottest costume jewelry designer around."  Aileen Mehle (Suzy) has anointed him "the most famous American fantasy jewelry designer of the twentieth century." Others call him simply "Jewelry's Living Legend."

Trained at the Rhode Island School of Design, he began his career in fashion as a shoe designer for Christian Dior. Since the 1960's, Kenneth Jay Lane has designed fashion costume jewelry for many of the most celebrated and influential women in the world, including First Ladies Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush; and legendary actors, socialites and royals such as Princess Diana and the Duchess of Windsor. More recently, leading cast members of HBO's Sex in the City have worn Kenneth Jay Lane creations befitting their style-setting wardrobes.

Kenneth was honored with the Coty America Fashion Critics Special Award and has received numerous other awards and citations from leading US retailers and the design industry. His work has been exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Fashion Institute of Technology. His book "Faking It" is considered an industry bible, and he has been on the International Best Dressed Men's list for over 20 years.

At recent auctions, Kenneth Jay Lane pieces have sold for fabulous prices. One piece sold for over $200,000 with aggressive bidding, and Christie's produced an entire catalog of Kenneth Jay Lane Vintage pieces which sold at record prices. At the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis auction at Sotheby's in 1996, 47 of Kenneth's special pieces in her collection brought in over one million dollars.

Commitment to Excellence

Every piece in the Kenneth Jay Lane Home Gift Collection is designed to be both the perfect gift and a collectors item.

All pieces in the Kenneth Jay Lane Home Gift Collection are crafted in the jeweler's tradition, with Swarovski crystals, triple plated 14k gold, and hand applied enamels.

Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity and is "hallmarked" with Kenneth's exclusive date symbol. The symbol for 2003 was the Butterfly - to mark Kenneth's rebirth as a home gift designer and to celebrate a popular theme in his jewelry collections. All pieces manufactured in 2004 will bear the date symbol of the Unicorn – said to be one of the most beautiful creatures conceived by the mind of man. The Unicorn was the first animal named by Adam and is celebrated in both eastern and western cultures; it symbolizes rare beauty, purity and a sign of good times to come

The quality and value of the Home Gift range is backed by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty. In the event of any problem related to product quality or manufacture any giftware piece from the Collection will be unconditionally repaired or replaced.

The work of America's most widely acclaimed architect was crucial to twentieth-century architectural development.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed not only buildings and residences but also their furniture, fabrics, fixtures-and even landscaping-to create a unified whole. Mr. Wright often incorporated decorative elements into architectural components; these geometric and organic patterns now enliven new collections of jewelry and personal and home accessories.

His designs for the interiors and furnishings of his buildings stretched the boundaries of design at the time. In the process he exerted a profound influence on the development of twentieth-century architecture and decorative arts.

The road to Orrefors winds through deep forests of spruce that open suddenly on darkly glistening lakes, and meadows and farmhouses set behind stonewalls. Here are the elements that gave rise to glassblowing, and which are reflected today in the finished glass; the ripples across the water, the sunbeams that penetrate the tall, dense stands of spruce, and the crystal-clear air. It is hardly surprising that the glass created here is beloved around the world.

The Swedish glass industry was born about 250 years ago, not far from Orrefors. In the summer of 1742 the first glassworks, warehouse, potash furnace and smithy were inaugurated in which is now the small village of Kosta.

Hand-blown glass has thus been produced in this part of Sweden for more than two and a half centuries. The story of Orrefors begins with Iron and the forest. As early as 1726, Lars Johan Silversparre received permission to build a furnace and a smithy at "the beautiful river that flows into Lake Orrenas". The iron works was given the name Orrefors, which means "the Orre waterfall".

 

Production at Orrefors became significant in the 1910's when Johan Ekman of Gothenburg, who realized the importance of design, acquired the glassworks. A number of proficient glass artisans were recruited. Ekman wanted to place production on a more artistic basis, and in 1916 he, therefore, engaged the services of Simon Gate, the portrait and landscape painter. The artist Edward Hald arrived in the following year. This laid the foundation for a vital tradition of Orrefors, in the form of close cooperation between skilled glassblowers and gifted designers.

 

Orrefors international breakthrough came at the Paris Exhibition of 1925.  From the Hotel de Ville, the Town Hall of Paris, the Swedish pavilion borrowed a magnificent glass goblet designed by Simon Gate that had been presented as a gift to the City of Paris from the City of Stockholm in 1922.  The goblet became a sensation, and the prestigious Grand Prix award was given to Orrefors and its designers. The glassblowers and engravers received gold medals. Many of the imposing glass objects from Orrefors were created for special occasions, or to special order.
 

Simon Gate and Edward Hald created the first modern art glass, and initiated an era that continues today. Orrefors participated in the New York World Fair in 1939 and launched the concept of Swedish Modern. The exhibition was a major success for modern Orrefors glass -- colorful, vigorous and exotic. In addition, many of their productions are now living classics, partly because the truly beautiful always survives, but also because techniques based on skill and experience never become outdated.

 

Throughout the 20th Century, Swedish art glass has been admired and treasured by a broad public, both in Sweden and internationally. Today, all of the Orrefors designers participate in producing art glass. The Orrefors designers are: Lars Hellsten, Jan Johansson, Helen Krantz, Erika Lagerbielke, Anne Nilsson, Lena Bergstrom, Martti Rytkonen and Per Sundberg.

German-born Philip Rosenthal established his first workshop in 1879 for the decoration of white porcelain in Selb, the heart of a German area known for the production of porcelain.

But it wasn't until the 1950's, through Philip Rosenthal Jr.'s  influence and leadership, that Rosenthal embarked on the track that propelled it toward international recognition in the world of contemporary design.

With his father's motto in "mind from the old, take the well-tested, from the new, take the best" - Philip Rosenthal Jr. turned to some of the finest artists in Europe to extend his art department.

Several hundred artists and designers from across the globe work began to collaborate for Rosenthal. The appeal of working with a totally new, versatile material like porcelain captured creative minds from all facets of art and design.

In 1961, the company introduced a new "lifestyle" concept called Studio Line. The line presented the use of new shapes and the involvement of  line artists to produce day-to-day products with style and flair.  The photo collection, represented in its entirety by SendAFrame, is part of this world-renown effort.

Today, these studio-line artists represented in the collection include: Danish artist Bjorn Wiinbad, Helsinki born Timo Sarpanewa, Italian designer Piero Fornasetti, Henry Moors, Salvador Dali, Roy Lichtenstein and Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus movement, to name a few.

Rosenthal products combine superb design, exceptional quality, enduring elegance, and lasting desirability.  You and your loved ones will treasure Rosenthal frames for their quality and beauty.

When asked to define the Lisa Jenks Limited® collection of  jewelry and picture frames, the company's owners easily respond with three simple words: sleek, bold, modern. Ironically the very same words could be used to describe the company's dynamic owners, accessories designer, Lisa Jenks, and her business partner and sister, molly. Together they have turned Lisa Jenks Limited® into one of the most successful women-owned businesses around.

Over 17 years ago, Lisa branched out from a successful career in fashion to pursue her true passion-jewelry design. Her designs, which combine inspirations from ancient cultures with sleek, modern shapes, were an instant hit with retailers. She quickly gained a loyal following of customers partial to her sterling silver jewelry with the "modern primitive" style.

Three years after Lisa started her business, Molly, Lisa's sister, joined her.  Together they own and manage Lisa Jenks Limited.

Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, Lisa Jenks limited is a design studio, showroom and bustling production facility rolled into one. The company is true testimony to the success of a small design and manufacturing business trying to "make it" in the city.

Lisa Jenks Limited® boasts a strong functioning employee team united behind the product and designer. Their diverse team is a truly unique blend of personalities, backgrounds and ages. Lisa Jenks limited is a place where recent college graduates work alongside skilled jewelers and one can find employees from all over the world.

As working mothers, Lisa and Molly can relate to employees' issues of balancing careers and families, and have created a dream working environment for their own employees. They and their senior management team, coincidently all women, are very sensitive to the needs of working parents.

As sisters their business partnership is unique. The inherent trust that the down-to-earth duo has in each other allows them to communicate openly with one another, respect each other's individuality and do anything together to get the job done.

As the sole designer of the company, the endlessly creative and prolific Lisa designs several jewelry and home accessories collections each year. The signature Lisa Jenks "look" carries through every collection, lending to the collectible craze behind Lisa Jenks -- yet new ideas and materials are introduced to the collection every season.

Lisa Jenks Limited® picture frames are exclusively available in specialty boutiques such as Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, galleries, fine jewelers and on line through LisaJenks.com and SendAFrame.com.

MOLESKINE is a legendary notebook. Many are the sketches and notes, ideas and emotions that have been jotted down and harboured in this trustworthy pocket-size travel companion before being turned into famous pictures or the pages of beloved books.

For two centuries, Moleskine has been the legendary notebook of European artists and intellectuals - from Van Gogh to Henri Matisse to Pablo Picasso, Ferdinand Celine to Andre Breton and Ernest Hemingway.

This long-standing tradition was continued by writer-traveler Bruce Chatwin who used to buy his moleskines at an old Paris stationery shop in Rue de l'Ancienne Comédie where he would always stock up before embarking on one of his journeys.

Over the years he had developed a veritable ritual. Before using them he would in fact number the pages, writing on the inside his name and at least two addresses across the world, and a message promising a reward for anyone finding and returning the notebook in case of it being lost.

He even suggested this method to his friend Luis Sepúlveda, when he gave him a precious moleskine as a present for a journey they were planning to undertake together in Patagonia. And there was no doubt as to how precious it was, given that at the time even the last moleskine manufacturer, a small family-run firm of Tours, had discontinued production in 1986.

'Le vrai moleskine n'est plus' was the short and curt statement of the owner of the stationery shop where Chatwin had ordered one hundred before leaving for Australia. Despite having literally swept up all the Moleskines he could find, they were not enough.

Now, the Moleskine is back. This silent and discreet keeper of an extraordinary tradition, which has been missing for years, has set out again on its journey. A witness to contemporary nomadism, it can once again pass from one pocket to another to continue the adventure. The sequel still waits to be written and its blank pages are ready to tell the story.

This silent and discreet keeper of extraordinary tradition, which has been missing for years, has been reproduced by the Italian company Modo&Modo and available at fine stores world-wide like SendAFrame.com

Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends® is almost 60 years old! He originated in England in 1945 when The Reverend W. Awdry wrote the first book in the Railway Series. Since then a generation of children have grown to love the cheeky engine and friends on the Island of Sodor.

The Reverend Wilbert Awdry, who passed away in 1997, was a retired Anglican clergyman. His father, Vere was also a clergyman and had the same passionate interest in railways. As a little boy in his father's vicarage in Box, Wiltshire, Wilbert would be in bed at night and listen to the trains of the Great Western Railway running along the main line from Paddington to Bristol within 200 yards of the house. He would imagine all the engines talking to one another and invented characters for them all.

He first made up stories about Thomas and his friends in 1943 to keep his son Christopher amused when he was ill with the measles. Mr. Edmund Ward, a businessman who wanted some diversion for his retirement eventually published the books, but they were so successful that Mr. Ward had to come out of retirement to cope with the demand.

When, after 26 books, The Rev. W. Awdry decided he could write no more, his son Christopher for whom the stories were first created, took up the series. Christopher began writing the books when his own son Richard was three - the same age as Christopher himself when his father started the Railway Series. It is through Christopher's efforts that there are now an additional 40 stories in an increasingly popular series.

Thomas the Tank Engine is one of the top children's favorite characters of all time. The timeless charm of the Awdrys' works have sold 25million units in the US and world wide book sales are approaching 80 million units.

SendAFrame is pleased to offer the Thomas the Tank Engine® picture frame series for your shopping convenience.

A Few Selection Hints from Crane & Co. (excerpted from www.crane.com - all rights reserved)

Capturing the Picture Perfect Photo

Sharing family photographs is one of the great joys of the holidays. Here are five quick tips for taking that perfect shot to share with family and friends on a Crane’s 100% cotton holiday photomount card.

• Outdoor photos are much easier and interesting than indoors. There are appealing elements to frame your photograph; attractive colors and textures. There are no windows, walls or mirrors to create reflections or shadows. Weather (like snow, or fall foliage) can be a fun part of your setting.
• Indoors or out, light is the essence of photography. Choose a shady area or a day without direct sunlight. The light at dusk can provide stunning opportunities.
• Choose a group close-up, or widen the view to include the view of the backdrop. Gather your family closely. If yours is a large group, gather them together in layers.
• If your photo is just of the kids, set them up, then move your feet; change positions side to side or up and down to get an interesting angle. If it’s a complete family photo, use a tripod and take some test shots with the timer.
• Take lots of photos. Take photos from different angles. Take photos with full flash, fill flash and no flash. Take at least one photo for every person in the group. Somebody is always blinking!
• When you see that perfect image on your computer screen, it’s time to select the card upon which it will be displayed. Choose a frame with complimentary colors, and a design that reflects your style. Most photo cards hold a standard 4 x 6 photo, so have your photos printed and trimmed to the size called for on the card, and add your personalized message inside.

Then you’re just a stamp away from sharing holiday smiles.
 

From the Graphic Image President & CEO Tom Glazer:

"Our customers are passionate about our products.  They recognize their value, utility, quality and always, their style.  While all our products are consistent with regard to the first three of these, style is almost always about the leather.  We enjoy making products that offer affordability; we also enjoy working with leathers from the finest tanneries of France and Italy.

"My favorite comment about Graphic Image was that we were the biggest brand that nobody has heard of.  The same individual added that Graphic Image constitutes a new category in retailing; a combination of products and styles not duplicated by any other company in the world.  That may be why we possess a mix of retail customers as unorthodox as they are traditional, and as practical as they are luxurious.

"What my friend meant by our brand awareness was that anyone shopping the top stores in America knows our products immediately by their style, if not by name.  Our style is our brand.  It is recognizable without a label."
