He produced numerous carpets for embassies, national monuments, the greatest steamers like the Normandy, the Ile de France etc. From the famous 1925 Exhibition a great master of the carpet art was born and widely recognized. From 1922 until 1936 he works a lot for Jules Leleu and his luxury decoration work for prestigious clients. His oils are rare and very much sought after.
