“Je remarque les émaux cloisonnés de M. Paul Louchet, ainsi que le cadre contenant des dessins d’Albert Louchet, son frère. Je n’insiste pas, ce n’est pas tout à fait de ma compétence ; on me dit d’ailleurs que ces jolis cloisonnés ont été exécutés au Japon même ; leur perfection s’explique alors plus facilement et aussi leur aspect un peu “porcelaine”, ce qui est une des caractéristiques des artistes modernes du Nippon.” Revue de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie et Orfèvrerie, n. 40, August 1903, page 96
