As numerous designers of his time, the silversmith Maurice Daurat (1880-1969) was very early interested in painting, sculpture and drawing. Trained at the Ecole Germain Pillon, created during the French Third Republic in order to reconcile art and industry, Maurice Daurat worked pewter, metal, that was scorned at that time, to realise unique pieces or very limited editions, and also monumental works, as the vases of the steamship Normandie in 1935. At the end of his life, the artist devoted himself to sculpture, with a set of masks inspired by Africa and Asia.
