Halcyon Days was founded in 1950 by Susan Benjamin and is among the rare international shops to specialize in both antique and contemporary collectors' items.

Halcyon Days originated from the Greek legend surrounding a "halkion" or kingfisher who laid its eggs in a nest that floated on the sea. Poseidon calmed the waves to prevent them from being broken, and the period became known as the days of tranquility and peace.
Mrs. Benjamin is personally involved in the design process from initial inspiration to the final approval of the master sample. A proposed design is reviewed and amended at least six times before the artwork and color choices are finalized.
