Les Enluminures was founded in Paris in 1991 by Dr. Sandra Hindman, Professor Emerita of Art History at Northwestern University and leading expert of Medieval and Renaissance manuscript illumination. In association with the Chicago and Paris based businesses, Les Enluminures opened a new gallery in New York in May 2012. Les Enluminures specializes in manuscripts and miniatures from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and offers rings and jewelry from the same periods. As well as exhibiting at many prestigious art and antique shows, Les Enluminures organizes three or four exhibitions a year and publishes three or four catalogues per year. Sandra Hindman is a member of ABAA, NAADAA, SLAM, and SNA.
