GÉRARD SANDOZ (1902-1995)

Gérard Sandoz came from a long-established line of clockmakers and jewelers. His grandfather, Gustave Sandoz, opened a shop in Paris in 1861 at the Palais Royal. Nearby you would find Boucheron and Fontana. Gustave founded the Société d’Encouragement à l’Art et à l’Industrie along with Gustave Larroumet. Their mission was “The development of the arts applied to decoration and industry by the collaboration of the State and private initiatives, and the renewal models of the art industries through the rational cooperation of the artist, the industrialist, the publisher, the craftsman, the art worker.” He also founded the Foire de Paris, the largest general fair in Europe to this day. His son, Gustave-Roger (Gérard’s father), moved the firm to the rue Royale and, as vice-president of the French committee for exhibitions and Commander of the Légion d’Honneur, was a prominent promoter of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes.

Gérard exhibited his jewelry in his father’s showcase at the 1925 Exposition and his flatware and tea services in the Ambassade Française pavilion of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs, and was rewarded with two awards. He was an avid poster designer creating designs for advertising automobiles, sports events, and the like. Painting was also a passion for this versatile artist.
