Object Literature

Jules Graux’s foundry was based at 8 rue du Parc-Royal from 1860. By 1880 his sons took over the business and their works were stamped GRAUX-MARLY or GRAUX-MARLY FRÈRES. The foundry produced bronze and gilt bronze candelabra, clocks, statues and other fine decorative works of art. They cast bronzes by many of the most renowned sculptors of the day including Carpeaux, Pradier, Fremiet and Carrier-Belleuse, as well as reproducing important and popular antique, Renaissance and later models.
