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.

“Primavera 1912-1972, Atelier d’Art du Printemps"
Alain-René Hardy, Faton Edition
Primavera 1912-1972: Atelier d’Art du Printemps
Primavera, “Spring” in Italian, was the first French department store to set up a creative workshop at the beginning of the 20th century.
The adventure began in 1912 with two Decorative Arts enthusiasts:
Pierre Laguionie (1884-1978), director of “Printemps” Department Store and lawyer René Guilleré (1878-1931), founder of the Salon des Artistes Dé-corateurs.
Their objective is to promote the craft of Art in the daily life of the French people on the motto of the beautiful and the useful.
Decorative objects and furniture (furniture, ceramics, glassware, carpets, up-holstery, wallpapers, etc.) must be beautiful, modern, of high quality and at affordable prices.
The studio acquired young decorative artists such as Marcel Guillemard (1886-1932) and Louis Sognot (1892-1969) for furniture, and for works of art and ceramics by Madeleine Sougez (1891-1945)active from 1920 to 1928, Claude Lévy (1895-1942) from 1919 to 1929, Paule Petitjean...
