Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1900
“Le surtout de table exposé par M. Cardeilhac a retenu tous les examens (reproduit dans l’Art décoratif, août 1900). Et de l’avis unanime, c’était le groupement le mieux entendu de l’orfèvrerie exposée. La forme basse et bien d’aplomb du surtout et de la jardinière, compensée par le bouquet plus trapu des flambeaux et l’interposition des coupes à fruits laisse le mouvement libre pour toutes les pièces du service, comme il permet à chaque invité de voir l’ensemble harmonieux des cristaux, des fleurs, du linge apaisé, et de jouir en un mot du luxe du décor, sans être tenu à des souvenirs archaïques. A une époque où l’orfèvrerie alternait entre les curiosités de la petite sculpture appliquée et les reconstitutions des anciens styles, l’atelier Cardeilhac se maintenait à une réputation très sérieuse par le soin qu’il apportait à toutes les pièces de table. Sa coutellerie est connue dans l’Europe entière et les spécimens en sont aisément reconnaissables. Ce même soin, il l’a apporté à toutes les œuvres de grosserie, et les cafetières comme les légumiers, les chocolatières, les soupières, la platerie sont vraiment des œuvres de la recherche la plus moderne et la plus séante qui soit. Le mouvement floral a fourni les décors admirablement appropriés à chacune des formes, sans en compromettre ni l’assise ni la ligne. Les photographies des différents objets que nous reproduisons indiquent la supérieure entente de ces orfèvreries, dont les galbes, les contours et les très beaux plans décoratifs ont été trouvés et dessinés par M. Bonvallet, un véritable artiste dont les cartons seront à rechercher”. Léon Maillard, Orfèvreries, Orfèvres, l’Art Décoratif, février 1901, page 206

Between 1894 and 1899, Lucien Bonvallet designed for Cardeilhac a large array of silverware destined for the Exposition Universelle. Tea and coffee services in two sizes with their matching trays in engraved silver or pyrographed with silver mounts, handles and finials in either ebony or tinted ivory, sculpted ivory and silver candy dishes, vases, soup tureens, vegetable dishes and plates, fruit bowls, scent bottles, eggcups, a large centerpiece that included a jardinière and candlesticks. He drew his inspiration from flowers and plants which were transposed on the various models: thistles, columbines, mistletoe, clovers and chestnut leaves
All of those models were exhibited in January and February 1913 at the pavillon de Marsan, Musée des Arts décoratifson the occasion of a retrospective exhibition of Lucien Bonvallet
