Lot Essay
Established in 1804, the firm of Denière produced bronzes of the highest quality throughout the nineteenth century for such distinguished clients as the Prince d'Orange, the Duc d'Orléans, the Grand Duc Alexandre, and the viceroy of Egypt. In 1844 Guillaume Denière inherited the company from his father and established a warehouse/shop at 15, rue Vivienne. In the following decades Guillaume continued in his father's footsteps, winning various prizes for both his work and his role as President of the Réunion des Fabricants, ultimately receiving the Légion d'Honnneur just prior to the 1862 International Exhibition, London.
