The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La maison de l’industriel Auguste Gaudard forme, avec l’usine, un ensemble représentatif d’une activité significative de Morbier et Morez. Elle nécessita, également, la participation de deux personnalités locales : le peintre Germain Paget et Jacques Ricardon, maître plâtrier, reconnu pour ses peintures en trompe-l’oeil. Il s’agit d’un type de villa assez courant, mais particulièrement enrichi par la présence d’un décor peint s’inspirant de la Renaissance (motifs ornementaux et figuratifs), et du début du 18ème siècle (imitations de marqueteries de marbres polychromes).

The house of industrialist Auguste Gaudard forms, with the factory, an ensemble representative of a significant activity in Morbier and Morez. It also required the participation of two local personalities: the painter Germain Paget and Jacques Ricardon, master plasterer, recognised for his trompe-l'oeil paintings. This is a type of villa fairly common, but particularly enriched by the presence of painted decoration inspired by the Renaissance (ornamental and figurative motifs), and the early 18th century (imitations of polychrome marble inlays).
