Antoine Theodore M Acket (1918-81) was active as a painter and stained glass artist. In 1952, he exhibited a flower piece at the RA, and continued to exhibit there at least until 1963.

At the earlier date his address was in Dulwich. In the 1950s, he was also involved in an interior design business in London, where he helped to design at least one café. He later moved to Kent and spent the rest of his life in the Canterbury area.

He was of Dutch origin though there are instances of the name in Belgium, but his background and training are unknown. His work in glass was noted for its use of bright colours and his first recorded design at St Botolph, Aldersgate, City dates from 1952, though earlier work may exist. Much of his glass, as at St Wilfrid, Haywards Heath, was undertaken for C E Welstead Ltd of Croydon and for Wainwright and Waring.

A rare and beautifully framed work !!
