Discover Les Delgutte : Stucateurs et céramistes Lille Mons-en-Barœul 1873-1936 The Delgutte Family: Stucco Artists and Ceramicists, Lille, Mons-en-Barœul, 1873-1936, the definitive work written by Gilles Maury and published by the Historical Association of Mons-en-Barœul (ISBN 9782951556225). This book retraces the exceptional career of the Delgutte family—Désiré and his sons René and Georges—stucco artists and ceramicists active in the Lille metropolitan area between 1873 and 1936, and highlights their major contribution to architectural decoration as well as to the reconstruction of regional churches after the First World War.

The result of extensive research, this richly illustrated 135-page book in French (93 plates) tells the story of a family business without archives. Through previously unpublished documents and period photographs, this book transports us from Lille to Nottingham and Algiers, from the most eclectic castles to rebuilt churches (including Saint-Vaast in Béthune). Collaborating with the greatest local architects, the Delgutte family specialized in faux stone, stucco, terracotta, and mosaics, leaving behind a remarkable artistic legacy.

Book in very good condition (a few marks that do not affect reading), soft cover.

An essential for enthusiasts of art history, northern heritage and 19th-20th century architecture.
