A SCHNEIDER In wrought iron, with washbasin and tripod base with scroll decoration, surmounted by a lilac frieze supporting a coloured glass paste globe attributed to SCHNEIDER. Signed "G.

After learning the techniques of ironwork in Paris in 1900, he moved to Le Creusot where he worked on drilling chisels for the Schneider factories. But above all, he set up as an art locksmith and made his own art deco inspired works, thus gaining notoriety by making what seemed impossible at the time: the forge of lilac flowers.
