Charles R. Gracie established Gracie in New York City in 1898. Originally a custom lamp business, Gracie expanded into Asian antiques in the 1920s and 1930s. In the 1930s a textile trader brought Mr. Gracie a roll of exquisite handpainted wallpapers that he had discovered in Beijing. Mr. Gracie established a relationship with the studio that created that paper which has lasted decades. Today, handpainted wallpapers are Gracie’s signature product line and the company’s papers have graced interiors from Gloria Vanderbilt’s home to the White House.
