THE REGIONAL COMMITTEE OF ADVISERS

ON FOREIGN TRADE TO ITS CHAIRMAN

Mr. P. THOUERY

1928

Designed by Joe Descomps (Joseph Jules Emmanuel Cormier) (1869-1950), who often used the pseudonym Guirande.

He exhibited at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts).

Very rare in that combination and size.
