This book explores a vanished world, that of the Parisian bronze art and furniture industry, which exercised worldwide artistic and commercial domination in the 19th century.
THE bronzeland Paris saw the blossoming, in the Marais and Canal Saint-Martin districts, of the talent of hundreds of sculptors and designers, and thousands of craftsmen, fitters, chasers, turners, engravers, gilders, decorators, etc. Its employers' association, the Réunion des fabricants de bronzes, decisively developed intellectual property law.
Its workers were the most active in the creation of the Parisian section of the International. As for its business leaders, their artistic sense and conquering mentality gave birth in the Bronzeland to a remarkable culture and unrivaled industrial success. Yet the splendors of this vanished world have sunk into oblivion.
