| Summary: | Towards the end of the nineteenth century, ceramicists in Algiers began producing tile in a historicist style derived from neo-Moorish architecture and from the renovations of the grand Ottoman dwellings on the outskirts of Algiers. The style is strongly tied to Algiers collectors, architects, businessmen, and historians. Claiming to revive a tradition, they promoted a new craft industry, which flourished. This article presents a brief experiment in renovating or creating Algerian craftsmanship at the Mustapha museum of arts and antiquities, with a ceramics studio that operated 1899-1901, directed by curator Georges Marye and writer Émile Violard. |
