Cartier Building, Neoclassical commercial building on Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, United States.
The Cartier Building features a limestone facade with an ornate pavilion on 52nd Street and extends across five stories of refined architecture.
Morton Plant traded his mansion to Pierre Cartier in 1917 for one million dollars and a double-strand natural pearl necklace valued at similar price.
The building incorporates art installations throughout its interior, including wall sculptures by Peter Lane and mosaics by Béatrice Serre celebrating New York.
The retail space spans multiple floors with specialized areas for jewelry, watches, and private consultation rooms designed according to seasonal themes.
The building contains a hidden attic space concealed within an architectural frieze, maintaining its original structural elements from 1905.
