Signed Claude Galle (1759-1815).
Considered one of the most important bronze makers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Claude Galle is today a reference in neoclassical style bronze.
From the beginning of his career, he became a collaborator of famous founders such as André-Antoine Ravrio and Jean Hauré.
This allowed him to participate in the development of bronzes intended for the furniture of the crown. Under the Consulate, he quickly became the main competitor of Philippe Thomire.
He supplied the imperial furniture store, thus furnishing the castles of Compiègne and Fontainebleau.
Retiring in 1813, he was replaced by his son Gérard-Jean. His productions, once highly appreciated by the English and the Russians, inspired bronze makers such as Andreï Voronikhin (1759-1814) and Friedrich Bergenfeldt (1768-1822).
He died in 1815 after having produced works that were the pride of large collections.
