Charles Théodore Perron, born in Paris 10th on October 16, 1862 and died in Bourg-la-Reine on December 18, 1934, is a French sculptor. A student of Falguière, Roy and Louis-Auguste Hiolin, active in Paris, he exhibited at the Salon des artistes français from 1895.
He received an honourable mention in 1896 and subsequently received a third-class medal in 1897, a second-class medal in 1899 and an honourable mention in 1900 at the Universal Exhibition. He received a first-class medal at the 1910 exhibition and participated in the Royal Scottish Academy Exhibition in 1912.
His studio was located at 35 rue Humboldt from 1895 to 1905, 16 boulevard Saint Jacques in 1907 and 6 rue Dareau in 1912. In 1905, he was mentioned at the Salon des artistes français at the same address, 35 rue Humboldt, who presented a portrait of La Tour d'Auvergne at the salon.
His most famous work L'épave, a marble statue inspired by a poem by François Coppée and exhibited at the Salon in 1897. We also owe him Espieglerie, a marble statue and Surprise, a bronze group, both sent to the Salon of 1899. Finally, many decorative groups inspired by the Art Nouveau spirit.
