Note du spécialiste

A single example, with the jewelled gilt decoration to three sides and therefore lacking the finely painted scenes of cherubs on the present vases, was sold Christie's New York, 25 October 2005, lot 163 ($26,400).

Paul Louchet, a friend of Lalique and Daum, was a painter, engraver, jeweler and bronzier. He was both the president of the bronze manufacturer's sydicate and mayor of the town of Herblay.
