Lorie. 13a New Bond Street, London Footnote: Antonin Hilaire Boullemier (1839-1900) was the son of a Sevres Paris artist who studied painting and music in Paris. Following the Siege of Paris in which he was involved, Antonin fled to England, joining Minton in 1872. He became one of Minton's highest-paid artists, earning £400 a year. During the 1890s following a disagreement with Leon Arnoux, Boullemier chose a freelance path, working for Minton, Coalport, Derby and other Staffordshire makers while also producing his distinctive watercolours and figure-paintings on tiles.
