Ralph Lauren's Manhattan flagship store on Madison Avenue just opened last month, after several years of renovations. The Rhinelander Mansion was originally converted into an over the top retail mecca by Ralph Lauren in 1986. It was designed in the 1890s by Kimball & Thompson, the French Renaissance Revival Mansion is an architectural treasure as well with a classic Beaux Arts façade that is one of many found on the Upper East Side. Take a look at the pictures below to see some of the treasures, old and new, that can be found on all four floors.
All of the rooms in the Mansion have been overhauled and decorated in keeping with the neoclassical style of the original grand residence. Select pieces of Ralph Lauren's personal antiques and fixtures, as well as furniture and art, including 18th- and 19th-century oil portraits and coveted photographs from Ralph Lauren's personal collection. I know I cannot wait to get into the store as soon as possible.
