“Un service à toilette en vermeil et en cristal, d’une étonnante richesse, doit aussi être mentionné. Le thême du décor, c’est l’aurore, le réveil de la nature. Sur la pièce principale, c’est-à-dire le broc, est représenté en demi-relief un cygne qui s’ébat dans un étang, que le soleil éclaire de ses feux et à la surface duquel s’étalent des feuilles de nénuphars. Enveloppant le contour du broc de ses deux ailes à moitié ouvertes, comme pour faire sa toilette, le cygne tord son long col dans un geste nonchalant, et son bec s’allonge jusqu’à l’orifice du récipient pour en aspirer l’eau. L’idée est originale, charmante ; il s’en faut de peu que l’œuvre ne soit parfaite”. Victor Champier, L’Exposition Universelle de Bruxelles, La Revue des Arts Décoratifs, 1897, p. 390. Illustration of the pitcher p. 361

Il s'agit de deux personnages détachés du groupe “Mathô vaincu, Défilé de la Hâche ou Retour de Mathô à Carthage ou L'Eléphant d'Hamilcar” dont la maquette en plâtre de 1893, aujourd'hui détruite, figura au Salon des Artistes Français de 1894, n°3536, et pour laquelle l'artiste obtint une médaille de 3ème classe. La place de cette sculpture dans le groupe se situe à droite de la patte arrière droite de l'éléphant.
Une autre maquette en plâtre teinté, terre cuite, fil de fer et bois provenant de l'atelier du sculpteur dispersé à Lyon en 1972 a été reconstituée en 1930 par la fille de l'artiste et se trouve aujourd'hui au Victoria and Albert Museum de Londres

Born in Geneva, François Bocquet studied in Paris under Jean Dampt and as of 1900 was one of the five artists who exhibited at the Galerie des Artistes Modernes under the name “L'Art dans tout”.
A talented engraver he was at ease with producing both silver and copper objects which were either unique or in small edition. He adorned his silver objects with gold and enamel highlights and semi precious stones such as moonstones and lapis lazuli. His motifs are floral enhanced with insects (cicadas, ladybirds, bees).
He soon turns to jewelry and exhibits regularly at the Société Nationale de Beaux-Arts.
