About Louis Damon:
Louis Antoine Damon (1860-1947) became the owner of the store " Au Vase Etrusque " at 20 rue Malesherbes in Paris in 1887 at the age of 27. A great creative, he had a decoration workshop and made his own models to resell them. In 1889, the Daum Brothers entrusted him with the finishing of Berluze vases with long handles. They worked on them in his workshop, finely engraving them with a cameo or intaglio wheel with plant ornaments that he himself designed in an Art Nouveau style. He also distributed a range of glassware at Vallerysthal, Portieux and Baccarat. Rewarded in 1900 at the Universal Exhibition of 1900 with a silver medal, he joined forces with his brother-in-law Delente. He then signed Damon et Delente / Au Vase Etrusque. In the 1920s, the store was transferred to 4 avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie in Paris. It became Etablissements Damon with workshops located at 13 rue Verniquet in Paris, producing electrical appliances and stained glass art. less
