A similar garniture was exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1878. Firstly specialized in “régule” production, the house Blot and Drouard became smelter and editor of bronzes at the end of the 19th century, under the leadership of the founder’s son, Eugène Blot. The gallery, at n°5 of the Boulevard Madeleine exhibited next to their pieces some impressionists’ paintings, as well as some Camille Claudel’s artworks, as the firm cast a part of her production.

Condition
The illustrations of the catalogue are accurate. Good condition overall. There are the inevitable minor dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. Each side is decorated. There are some wears to the more exposed areas. There are traces of rust on each liner and to the bottom of each element. Very decorative.
