== Need info on French Artist: Henri Cheriot (spelling?) ==

I am a real estate agent in Orlando, Florida.  I have a client whose house was built in 1923 on Lake Gatlin.  A French Artist named Henri Cheriot or Chariot, lived there at some point.  There a sculptures by him used as architectural detail throughout the house (Chimney, Small Unicorn on wall).  His initials are engraved on the fireplace.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:If it is a contemporary artist you are looking for then it may be Henri Chariot. I can find little information about him on the web, though he is listed [http://www.sept112001.org/contributors.jsp here](second entry.)

::There seems to be only one [http://www.google.com/search?&q=%22henri+chariot%22+new+york Henry Chariot in New York] so you might want to give that a try.

My friend Henri Chariot is most probably the person you're looking for. He is an artist, painted and sculpted everywhere he lived. He easily would have decorated a house with sculptures. He has learned a living for years as a carpenter. I don't know how old your query is. I'm answering it in December 2010. Henri currently lives in Brooklyn, though I haven't talked to him in a couple of years.
