Uber den Künstler

Alfred Daguet was a decorative artist and metalsmith who specialized in repoussé copper panels applied to hinged boxes, mantel clocks, picture frames, album covers, panels for portable chests, blotters, and other elements of desk sets. Alfred Daguet’s life is relatively unknown. He was a pupil of Jean Leon Gerome and lived in Paris until 1910. His work was exhibited at the Société des Artistes Français in 1903 and 1904. He participated in the 1926 exhibition “Le Cuivre et le Bronze moderne” (“Contemporary Copper and Bronze”) at the Galliera Museum, Paris. Most of his works are in Art Nouveau style. Daguet also worked with silver and tin. After sixteen years of absence between 1910 and 1926, Daguet presented works bearing new forms – namely, circular disks of steel and bronze, which were exhibited in 1926 at the Galliera Museum.
