About the artist

Edmond Lachenal (1855-1948) was a French ceramist. Edmond Lachenal was one of the central figures in the development of Art Nouveau ceramics, and his work is comparable to that of Ernest Chaplet, Adrien-Pierre Dalpayrat and Albert Dammousse.
He had two sons, Jean-Jacques and Raoul Lachenal, who succeeded him as ceramists.
His work can be found in the Art Nouveau ceramics collections of the Louvre in Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
