Charles Jean Baptiste Claude Lorin was a French glass painter and manufacturer. He was born on October 16, 1866, in Chartres, the capital of the Eure-et-Loir department in France, and died in the same city on April 23, 1940.
Charles Lorin was the son of Nicolas Lorin (1833 – 1882) and Marie Françoise Dian (1840 – 1928). His father founded the Maison Lorin in Chartres in 1863. [1]
