Founded in 1834, Maison Barbedienne, the most famous artistic bronze company in France, enjoyed immense international influence for more than a century. Equipped with the revolutionary process of mechanical reduction of sculptures invented by Collas, the Barbediennes developed the industrial production of small edition bronzes. Their vast repertoire of models, from Antiquity to contemporary sculpture (edition of works by Rodin, Mercié, Dubois, Fremiet and especially Barye), meets the taste of a booming bourgeois clientele. They also enjoy great success in the manufacture of art objects that have won numerous awards at Universal Exhibitions and, with their notoriety, receive orders for numerous public monuments.
