Full Description
Victor Paillard was one of the most highly regarded bronze founders of the mid-19th century. He set up his own firm in the 1830s at 105 boulevard Beaumarchais and 6 rue Saint-Claude and by the 1850's was employing over one hundred workers. He exhibited numerous pieces at exhibitions both in England and in France, including numerous bronze clocks in the Salon of 1844, and was appointed as a member of the jury of the Universal Exhibition of 1855 in Paris.That he was sought to cast the massive and prestigious zinc and bronze figure of Queen Victoria for the 1851 Great Exhibition shows the high esteem he was held in.
