Line Vautrin (1913-1997)
Considered the 'epitome of Parisian Neo-Romantic chic', the work of Line Vautrin, here in the form of a sculptural resin lamp, encrusted with glittering coloured glass fragments, fascinated and captivated the imagination of such great names as Ingrid Bergman, Yul Brynner and Brigitte Bardot. Daughter of a metal founder, she began making costume jewellery at a young age and sold her creations door to door in Paris at the age of just twenty. By the 1950s, she had a workshop in the Marais producing buttons, brooches and buckles in addition to more elaborate projects influenced by ancient goldsmith's work she had discovered in the museums of Cairo and Crete. The present lamp is consistent with her ouevre during the 1960s when she had moved to the Rue de l'Universite.
