Henri-Albert Lagriffoul (1907-1981) ran a goldsmith workshop from an early age. This artistic and technical environment quickly awakened his sensitivity to the beauty of shapes and materials.

At the age of 17, he became a pupil of Paul Landowski, the sculptor of Christ the Redeemer in Rio, for whom he would always have great admiration.

His work is rooted in the great traditions of Greek, Egyptian, Romanesque and Gothic art. Between 1949 and 1955, he created four sculptures, a biscuit table centrepiece and the ornaments for two vases for the Manufacture de Sèvres.
