Product Story

Mr. James Is Pleased.

Henry James revisits Washington Square after decades abroad. Fifth Avenue is shrill. The new Arch of Triumph is brash. 

His momentary relief may be imagined, then, when, upon turning the corner, he perceives the gracious figure of a woman in a long velvet coat descend the steps of a townhouse and enter a waiting carriage, her motion revealing a flash of golden lining, and a single word emerges in his mind:

Estimable.
