(1884-1966)
Albert Cheuret, as a student of Jacques Perrin, specialized in lamp design. However, he also created statuettes made of bronze and tin, heating panels, mirrors, and a mantel clock influenced by Egyptian art. This style was again very current at the time. His table lamps, appliques, and chandeliers are in the salon style of >Le Style 1925<.
Lamp models with the characteristic crane motifs are very rare. Yet, a table lamp with three tulip flowers made of yellow alabaster, which is reminiscent of Art Nouveau, appears more often in the art trade. At the 1925 exhibition, he showed an important collection consisting of hanging, floor, and table lamps in silver-plated bronze. These featured angular alabaster inserts. A year earlier, as a member of the Sociéte des Artistes Français, he had already presented a lamp with a stylized bird of paradise. He also showed two appliques with a pearl pattern and a floor lamp with crystalline shapes. In all of his works, you can see a clear and characteristic handwriting. The stylized themes of his Art Deco frames provide a harmonious balance to the sharp-edged alabaster inserts.
