DAUM FRERES – PAUL RACADOT – “HOMMAGE A CAMILLE CAVALLIER” LAMP, 1924

“HOMMAGE A CAMILLE CAVALLIER” LAMP, 1924
Blown and engraved glass
Inscribed: Charlon/Pont à Mousson/Camille Cavallier/Hommage/des Conseillers/du Commerce Extérieur/de la Région de l’Est/1924″ et “Métallurgie/Pont à Mousson/1856/Foug/1905 Au Boue/1905/S’Estienne du Rouvray/1915
Height: 74 cm.

“Ce magnifique vase est la réplique de celui qui a été offert officiellement à Camille Cavallier, président-fondateur des Fonderies de Pont-à-Mousson, en 1924. Sur un fond symbolique de blés mûrs au temps de la moisson, quatre médaillons reproduisent dans une dominante rougeoyante qui leur convient, des scènes d’atelier, depuis la mine jusqu’à la forge. Tous ces motifs sculptés finement dans le verre, sont les témoins de la qualité exceptionnelle des graveurs sur verre de cette époque. Leur travail n’était pas exempt d’aléas, et si ce vase n’est qu’une réplique de l’original, quoique terminé, c’est qu’il est légèrement fêlé. Au cours des derniers coups de roue, une crique s’est déclarée inopinèment, rendant nécessaire la reprise à zéro du travail sur une autre pièce en attente, qui ne dut qu’à un tour de force d’être prête à temps. Le principal auteur du travail était le célèbre H. Racadot”. (Notice of Noël Daum in the catalogue of the exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy)
