Alfred Daguet was a French metalworker and artist, renowned for his intricate Art Nouveau designs in repoussé; a technique where metal is shaped from the reverse side to create raised patterns. Daguet's mirrors, crafted primarily in copper and bronze, are celebrated for their ornamental, nature-inspired frames, often featuring motifs like flowing vines, mythical creatures and delicate flowers. His work, blending craftsmanship and artistry, turned everyday objects like mirrors into unique decorative pieces, capturing the elegance and fluidity of the early 20th century Art Nouveau movement.
