Pair Of Art Deco Bookends Circa 1928 Sandstone Louis Dage, Signed d'Argyl
Nice pair of Art Deco ceramic/sandstone bookends, with stylized flowers design.
From Louis Auguste DAGE (1885-1961) and signed in all letters under enamel withthe art studio D'ARGYL name, created in 1928 by different artists associated.
Louis Dage starts his career in the Fives-Lille earthenware factory. After a short stay in Saint-Aubin-en-Bray, he continues his training in Beauvais where Greber and Auguste Delaherche factories are located, and in 1920 established at the art earthenware factory in Anthony, nearly Paris, where he collaborated with Jean De La Fontinelle, an animal ceramics specialist.
Eugene VAL would come later as partnerfor the new D'ARGYL workshop.
This trademark will be used from 1928 by the company Val (E.) - Cie goldsmith (Old Maison Effler), which was located at No. 218 rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin in Paris (Please check on web the collectors' forum of Place de l'Ours)
Legras was also the supplier of glass and crystal for this factory;
Louis Auguste DAGE will also participate in this adventure, this workshop having had little impact and a relatively ephemeral destiny.
The label D'ARGYL is used for glass and crystal items, ceramic, porcelain, earthenware, on jewelry, bronze and metals.
Louis Auguste DAGE's collaboration will remain relatively confidential. Val operated from 1928 until the early 1940s."
The kinship between DAGE ceramics and other pieces bearing the label D'ARGYL is however obvious: the same sandstone technique slightly in relief, the grey background color and its special textureor even navy blue to turquoise, and the Art Deco design so characteristic, often stylized floral. Often also decorative ceramics for tilitarian everyday objects: vases, ashtrays or smoke set, bookends...
Dage was designated in 1924 "Best Worker ceramist of France", and worked in the 1930s on the project of the liner Le Normandie. In 1935, he took over the management St SEVER ceramic factory (Landes, South west of France).
Sizes: 17,5cm height - 15 depth and 11,5cm width
