Lot Essay

Edmond Lachenal (1855-c.1930) was an apprentice at the studio of Th. Deck in Paris. He opened his own studio in 1880 in Chattilon-sous-Baigneaux. In 1894 the Musée des Arts Décoratifs purchased an example of this model of which several versions exist like the one, illustrated in The Studio, Vol. 15, p. 285 (1899), the bamboo shoots covered with snow.
