Marie-Antoinette Lemanceau (XXe) Witch mirror In talosel, metal rods, gilded metal forming flowers and leaves, resin, haberdashery and inclusions of pieces of colored glass. Bearing a label on the back "Marie-Antoinette Lemanceau, artisan - créateur, pièce unique" D. 37 cm We know very little about Marie-Antoinette Lemanceau, except that she was one of Line Vautrin's assistants. Reusing the material invented by the latter in the 60s, Marie-Antoinette developed her own artistic production of jewelry, mirrors and boxes. With a more eccentric style, she mixes talosel, pieces of glass and salvaged objects: haberdashery, shells, copper foil... she stands out for her fantasy, choice of materials and the extravagant dimensions of her jewels, in the tradition of Robert Goossens, or René Lalique who, at the end of the 19th century, took everyone by surprise by choosing less noble materials (enamel, crystal, semi-precious stones such as amethyst or aquamarine). Like the work of Mithé Espelt, recently rediscovered by the market, the resolutely modern work of Marie-Antoinette Lemanceau is well worth a visit!
