Titled "Bain de Champagne Caron"

Model for the famous Parisian perfumer.

Good condition, they measure respectively 52 cm high.
Legend has it that a Californian billionaire accustomed to taking baths in Champagne asked the French perfumer Ernest Caron to make him a perfume that could replace the exquisite bubble wine. This is how the “Bain de Champagne” was created, which would make Maison Caron a success. Chauvel's art is part of a period of artistic wonder where the desire to achieve old canons and the study of new forms combine.
