L'Orfèvrerie, Stone statue in downtown Nantes, France.
L'Orfèvrerie is a stone sculpture crafted by artist Édouard Lormier, standing as an artistic testament from the early twentieth century in the city of Nantes.
This artwork was unveiled on April 19, 1900, during the French artistic renaissance period that marked the transition between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in European art.
The statue represents the significance of traditional French crafts and artisanship, particularly goldsmithing which was a prestigious skill in the Loire Valley region during that era.
Located at precise geographical coordinates 47.2193968, -1.5469085, this sculpture can be easily accessed from downtown Nantes using local public transportation systems and pedestrian pathways.
The work derives its originality from combining stone carving techniques with thematic representation specifically dedicated to precious metalwork and traditional French goldsmithing arts and craftsmanship.
