Intricately sculpted, this panel depicts a stylized king and queen in low relief. Son of Polish farmers in Northern France, he was apprenticed after the war to a potter's workshop where he learned to throw on the wheel. With a friend he briefly occupied a bombed-out earthenware factory then setting up his own workshop. As he developed his practice, the majority of his output came from the long-running collaboration with furniture designers Robert Guillerme and Jacques Chambron and their line, Votre Maison, 1953, to his sudden death in 1979.
