Circa 1930
Claudius Linossier was born in Lyon in 1893. Although he was the son of a weaver, very early on he showed his taste, which never varied, for just one material : metal.
After a training in ironwork be began an apprenticeship at Berger Nesme, the gold and sil-versmith in order to perfect his skill in drawing and his mastery of metals.
After a first short stay in Paris, interrupted because of the war, Claudius Linossier returned to continue his training with Cardeilhac where he was, for a short period, working a long-side Kéco Zambon, at that time the best copperware artist in Jean Dunand’s work shop.
However, as he was very fond of Lyon, he returned in 1920 to live and to open his own workshop.
His first creations were mainly inset in copper or silver, however Claudius Linossier soon began research on the colours and patinas that became his trademark.
Therefore his work can be identified by certain tonalities of red or deep black nickel silver which were unique.
His apotheosis could probably be situated between 1924 and 1932, a period of high produc-tion when he excelled in his mastery of forms and colours. Claudius Linossier was then using geometric anthropomorphosis or plant motifs which, when combined with polychrome pati-nas, brought life and movement to his work, that then became a work of art.
He first approached sculpture in 1925 however it was only from 1930 he showed this side of his talent. He also painted but as a private pastime.
This versatile genius soon became liked by people of his time, Claudius Linossier therefore showed his work in many exhibitions and salons, received official orders and collaborated from time to time with Ruhlmann, Sornay, Mercier and Chaleyssin or Sandoz.
He also became friendly with great artists such as Follot or Pompon, who influenced his sculptural interpretation in bronze, of cats and ducks.
The Second World war, because of the rationing of materials, broke off this period of creative work. His pieces in copper ware became rarer, and production was gradually reduced before finally coming to an end when Claudius Linossier died in 1953.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.

What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
