Each item in our Gallery is sold on request with a certificate of authenticity issued by Sabrina Egidi, Court Expert and C.C.I.A.A. of Rome.
This item comes from an important French private collection and is therefore unpublished on the market.
Camille Le Tallec, a famous French ceramist and porcelain decorator, was born on November 9, 1906, in Paris and died on August 21, 1991, in the same city.
Not only his professional duties but also his true passion led him to collect porcelain pieces created by European masters from the 16th to the 19th century throughout his life.
This collection was a source of inspiration for the artists in his studio and was assembled with the great pleasure of owning beautiful objects that were particularly dear to him.
In 1928, Camille Le Tallec opened a decoration workshop, “L'Atelier Le Tallec,” where he painted porcelain.
Spectacular decorations, often inspired by 18th- and 19th-century objects from major European manufacturers (Sèvres, Paris, etc.), quickly gained popularity and helped establish relationships with famous French trading houses, etc.
In the early 1960s, he began his close collaboration with Tiffany
Co., which led to the development of many famous designs.
In 1991, after Camille's death, Tiffany
Co. became the owner of the company.
Le Tallec porcelain is highly prized by collectors.
Among the most famous names are Donald and Nancy Reagan (Presidents of the United States).
Camille Le Tallec's private collections were auctioned in 1990, and the most exquisite pieces were acquired by numerous museums and collectors.
The works from her studio reflected not only her artistry but also the dedication with which she created them, paying attention to the most accurate and complex details.
Her work was carried out with great love and care, meeting the highest standards.
From 1952, Camille Le Tallec was a member of the French section of the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples.
For his talent, he received the Vermeil medal from the city of Paris in 1970 and in 1976 he was awarded the title of Knight of the Legion of Honor.
Le Tallec porcelain products usually feature several marks, including a decorative designation with the letters LT (Le Tallec) and the year of production.
They may also be decorated with an inscription in French or English indicating that the item was handmade by the Le Tallec workshop.
Camille Le Tallec founded his decoration studio, “L'Atelier Le Tallec,” in 1928, where he designed unique decorations on porcelain. His inspiration often came from the works of art of 18th- and 19th-century European masters, such as the Sèvres and Parisian manufacturers.
The collaboration with Tiffany
Co began in the 1960s and led to the creation of numerous famous design objects.
In French, “bonbonniere” means “candy box.”
In the modern sense, it is a small box for sweets.
But there were wonderful times when these boxes were not made of cardboard, but of noble materials...
The term “bonbonniere” became known in the 15th century, when the tradition of giving sweets to important people in a box made of precious materials began.
Incidentally, sweets were also an expensive treat in those days.
The “bonbonniere” is part of the wedding ritual, a tradition.
On the day of the engagement, the future bride and groom and their families exchanged small boxes of sweets.
In France, “bonbonniere” were offered for good service; they were decorated with precious materials, mother-of-pearl, enamel, and gold.
