Jean and Martin Shafiroff
hosted this fête in anticipation
of the upcoming French Heritage Society Celestial Ball
(November
15 in NYC), celebrating the
historic reopening of
Notre-Dame Cathedral and
recognize the role Americans – both philanthropists and
artisans – played in its restoration.
We were thrilled to announce two very special Honored
Guests: Odile
de Schiétère-Longchampt, interior
designer and steadfast champion of FHS and artisans who
specialize in French decorative arts, and Hank
Silver, the
American carpenter who spent a year-and-a-half rebuilding
the wooden roof framing of the cathedral’s nave. |
