Return Policy
Davidson Galleries fully guarantees every work to be an authentic work of art as described. In the event that it is demonstrated by a qualified professional in the field that an item has been misrepresented, a full refund will be granted. Because we work with artists and consignors who get paid according to which works are sold, Davidson Galleries is unable to offer a cash refund for items returned beyond 7 days of purchase. Returns for gallery credit may be made up to 90 days after purchase. Under some circumstances, Davidson Galleries offers the option to take works out of the gallery on approval.

Nathaniel T. Currier (1813-1888) and James M. Ives (1824-95)

The American firm that became Currier & Ives was founded in New York in 1835 by Nathaniel T. Currier, who had apprenticed to the Boston lithographic firm of William S. & John Pendleton as a youth. Currier & Ives lithographs initially appeared under Currier's imprint. The name Currier & Ives first appeared in 1857, when James Merritt Ives, the company's bookkeeper and Currier's brother-in-law, was made a partner. Currier supervised production while Ives handled the financial side of the business. From 1852 to 1880 the sole focus of the firm was the publishing of the independent prints for which they are famous.   Today Currier & Ives lithographs are among of the most recognizable and beloved historical American graphics.
