Herbs


A mosaic-decorated  shop  is created for the herbalist Pierre Tourneux in 1934 at the corner of No. 26 rue Saint-Martin - 36 rue Saint-Aubin in Angers (France): the monogram with intertwined letters CT on the threshold of the entrance door to the store probably refers to this owner (and his wife?). The design of the storefront is due to the architect Ernest Bricard and the decor to the famous  mosaicist Isidore Odorico, in its characteristic Art  Déco style..
The herbalism activity stopped in 2006, and the shop has since been converted to a fashion store...






  The initial look of the shop can be seen hereunder.
