Four Gents

While these dapper gentlemen and their stylish accessories might not grace the porcelain of an antique shaving mug, they embody the spirit of an era that celebrated grooming as an art form. During the Victorian period, proper grooming charts—featuring dozens of headshots showcasing fashionable hairstyles and beard trends—were widely published to guide men in achieving the ideal look. Inspired by this tradition, “Four Gents” captures the charm and sophistication of a bygone age, reimagined through Laurent’s thoughtful artistry. This design is a fitting tribute to the timeless connection between style, grooming, and personal care.

The artwork is applied using traditional screen-printed ceramic transfers, a method developed nearly a century ago and still favored for its clarity and durability. Each color is printed with ceramic pigment onto a transfer medium, then carefully applied by hand and kiln-fired. The result is a fused design with crisp detail, rich color, and lasting beauty.
