Dan Karner Serving Bowls

Dan Karner, also known as Daniel Karner, was a French designer and craftsman who worked in France in the 1930s. He had a small craft store in Paris, in the third Arrondissement until 1940. Karner worked mainly on his own with apprentices. He specialized in carved wood and elegant home decoration. From bookends to cocktail picks, from desk accessories to decorative lamps, his creations were always refined and in limited edition. One morning in 1940, he never came to open his workshop. Karner was of Jewish origin and the story said he left Paris and crossed all France and the Pyrenees to flee from the German occupation of Paris. He never came back to France after World War II, but some pieces can be found on the market with his signature and the following mention, "Creaciones - Barcelona - Spain''. This could indicate, he was successful in his trip to Spain and freedom and was able to re-establish his activities in Barcelona.
