Édouard Élie Jules Cayette, born on May 27, 1882 in Paris and died on January 2, 1953 in Nancy, was a French ironworker, bronze worker, cabinetmaker, sculptor and interior decorator, representative of the Art Nouveau movement, then of that of Art Deco.
In 1896, he enrolled for the first time at the municipal and regional school of fine arts in Nancy. He left the school in 1899 and entered as an apprentice with Férez, a wood sculptor and carpenter from Nancy.
In 1900, he re-enrolled at the Beaux-Arts in Nancy, while continuing his apprenticeship with Schwartz. He left the school for good in 1902. During this apprenticeship, he received instruction from Victor Prouvé and Eugène Vallin. His classmates were Auguste Vallin, Joseph Mougin and Pierre Mougin.
In 1904, he joined Jacques Gruber as a collaborator, where he perfected his style. He modeled many compositions and made sculptures in place of the master as far as furniture was concerned. The workshop then adjoined that of Vallin, hence the latter's definite influence on Cayette's early works.
In 1910, Jules Cayette set up his own business and officially began his activity on August 1st. From 1912, he exhibited regularly at the Société lorraine des amis des arts. It was at this time that he met his main patron, Saint-Just Péquart (1881-1944).
He set up his first workshop on rue Collinet de La Salle in Nancy in 1913, the date of his first mention in the Meurthe-et-Moselle commercial directory. He married Marie Lucie Berche (1893-1933) on May 11, 1918. In 1919, he moved and set up his workshop at 63, rue des Jardiniers (which would be supplemented by the one on rue du Montet, currently avenue du Général Leclerc, bought from the widow Guth).
The 1920s were the glory years of the workshops, which employed a dozen workers. The productions were very varied: from bronze ashtrays to light fixtures — always with Daum glassware...

Pair of French 19th-20th Century Neoclassical Style Cast Iron Figural Torchères
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A very fine pair of French 19th-20th century neoclassical style patinated cast iron figural torchères by A. Durenne, Paris, each representing a figure of a standing young maiden, her arms raised forward while holding a a flaming urn gas light (Now electrified) with a frosted glass flame, each raised on a veined grey marble column stand, both cast-signed 'A. Durenne, Paris'. Antoine Durenne was an internationally renowned French art founder. He attended École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in 1842. Durenne purchased a small foundry in Sommevoire, near the Val d'Osne, Haute-Marne, France and established The Durenne firm, circa Paris, 1900.
Cast-iron had been in production during the 18th century but its inferior status to the more fashionable and delicate wrought iron had generally confined its use to architectural work. By the early 19th century, however, rapid developments of the Industrial Revolution combined with the simultaneous burgeoning of a new middle class provided the impetus for a dramatic Expansion in its application and in a short space of time a proliferation of iron foundries across Europe and America thrived on the production of everything from inkstands to railway stations. The use of cast-iron for garden ornament became particularly widespread at this time, as the possibilities for its mass-production at a fraction of the cost of bronze made it the material of choice for outdoor statuary...

Antique, New and Vintage Floor Lamps
The modern floor lamp is an evolution of torchères — tall floor candelabras that originated in France as a revolutionary development in lighting homes toward the end of the 17th century. Owing to the advent of electricity and the introduction of new materials as a part of lighting design, floor lamps have taken on new forms and configurations over the years.
In the early 1920s, Art Deco lighting artisans worked with dark woods and modern metals, introducing unique designs that still inspire the look of modern floor lamps developed by contemporary firms such as Luxxu.
Popular mid-century floor lamps include everything from the enchanting fixtures by the Italian lighting artisans at Stilnovo to the distinctly functional Grasshopper floor lamp created by Scandinavian design pioneer Greta Magnusson-Grossman to the Paracarro floor lamp by the Venetian master glass workers at Mazzega. Among the more celebrated names in mid-century lighting design are Milanese innovators Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, who, along with their eldest brother, Livio, worked for their own firm as architects and designers. While Livio departed the practice in 1952, Achille and Pier Giacomo would go on to design the Arco floor lamp, the Toio floor lamp and more for legendary lighting brands such as FLOS.
Today’s upscale interiors frequently integrate the otherworldly custom lighting solutions created by a wealth of contemporary firms and designers such as Spain’s Masquespacio, whose Wink floor lamps integrate gold as well as fabric fringes.
Visual artists and industrial designers have a penchant for floor lamps, possibly because they’re so often a clever marriage of design and the functions of lighting. A good floor lamp can change the mood of any room while adding a touch of elegance to your entire space. Find yours now on 1stDibs.
