JEWELRY. BAPST, Germain (1853–1921), founder of the Bapst & Falize jewelry house. Signed autograph letter. [Paris], 6 rue d’Antin, n.d. 2 pp. in-8. BAPST & FALIZE INSIST ON THE INCLUSION OF THEIR TITLES OF NOBILITY. Bapst learns “that in the catalog for Class XI, the administration refuses to include the title ‘former jeweler to the crown’ after the names of Messrs. Bapst and Falize .” […] “I would point out that every exhibitor includes their profession after their name. This mention is the only indication of Messrs. Bapst & Falize’s profession.” Bapst insists on the reinstatement of this mention. At the 1889 World’s Fair, Lucien Falize and Germain Bapst were exhibitors and members of the awards jury for the so-called “Class XI,” which corresponded to “the customary application of the arts of drawing and sculpture,” that is, works of applied art, decorative art objects, goldsmithing, and fine jewelry.
