Wendi Schneider is a collector of art and objects primarily from the turn of the 20th century, including Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts, photogravures, and silver, platinum and gum prints. She began collecting old things as a child antiquing with her mother and collecting in earnest once she had her own place in New Orleans in the late 1970s.

The collection below is pulled from The_Schneider_Collection Instagram page, which was begun in 2019, currently featuring photography and books. The collection also includes china, pottery, textiles, prints, boxes, glass, lighting, furniture and frames – some of which house photographs from her collection and others which are paired with her own work in the Patina Collection.
