Description
Émile GALLÉ (1846–1904), Nancy – Lorraine. A faience salt shaker, commissioned specifically by Frédéric de CARCY (1814–1889), a retired General Staff officer and member of the Académie de Stanislas, for his granddaughter Louise de METZ-NOBLAT (1875–1941), one of the eight children of Antoine de Metz-Noblat and Mathilde de Carcy, his only daughter. The decoration features dedications, a depiction of little Louise (“This is Lili, Grandfather” Algiers 1877) and views of the Villa Marquérile in Algiers and the Hôtel de Carcy on Cours Léopold in Nancy (built around 1858–1859 to plans by Prosper Morey; it is better known today as the Hôtel de Metz-Noblat, in the heart of what would become the GEC in the early 20th century, where generations of students lived under the strict supervision of the Jesuit fathers). Signed “E. Gallé”. Circa 1877. Height: 8 cm. Some damage. For a biography of Frédéric de Carcy, see: https://www.academie-stanislas.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/andre-de-carcy-charles-frederic.pdf
