Circa 1930
As Pierre D’Avesn started working and creating models with and for René Lalique, this chandelier is very close architecturally to some of the greatest and rarest models by René Lalique such as “Chasse”, “Chiens”, “Papillons” or “Figurines et Branches” chandeliers.
Pierre D'Avesn (1901-1990) is a sculptor who made industrial Art Deco models and deco-rations in glass art press. His real name is Pierre Girre, and he received a classical educa-tion at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs de Paris at the time when François Décorchemont was teaching there.
René Lalique hired him at age 14. He stayed 10 years in his company and then set up as an independent. He will work with the Cristalleries Saint Rémy to produce in his own moulds, parts. From 1928 to 1934, he worked at Daum (Verrerie Belle Étoile de Croismare) as a decorative artist to develop the production of moulded, pressed and blown glass. He will sign them Davesn/Lorrain.
He remained there until the outbreak of the great strikes of 1936, which did not spare Lor-raine.
Pierre d'Avesn joined Verlys in 1937 for the Hollophane department. After the war, where he was incorporated, he worked at the Cristallerie de Choisy le Roi. He reissues old models and creates new ones, under the Sèvres label.
In 1952, all the moulds and equipment needed for this type of production are sold to the Cristallerie de Vannes le Châtel near Toul. He continued his career there until his retire-ment in 1984. He died in Paris at the age of 90. He was the elite of glass makers of the Art Deco era.

Pierre D'Avesn
Pierre d'Avesn, was born in 1901. In the beginning, at 14 years old, he worked at Rene Lalique's for 10 years. During this period, he designed Lalique's famous "Serpent" vase as well as the "Tourbillons" vase, two of the most highly priced and extremely collectable pieces by Lalique. In 1926, he left René Lalique and created his own models. His pieces were made by Cristallerie de Saint-Rémy. In 1930, Daum Freres asked him to take the artistic direction of their molded glass department in their glassworks in Croismare, which he did until the famous strikes in 1936. In 1937, he took the management of Verlys until World War I in 1940. From 1940, he worked on his own. His pieces were made by Cristallerie de Choisy-le-Roi (Sèvres), surely the most important French glass worker for the molded glass Art pieces with René Lalique and Sabino.
