French Artist, Figure with Torch, 19th Century, Painted Cast Iron

About This Piece

Stamped Tusey Meuse,' the maiden portrayed as standing and draped in the classical manner, the torchere held aloft in her raised right hand. Pierre-Adolphe Muel established a foundry at Tusey in the Meuse district between 1832 and 1835, gaining royal permission from Louis Philippe to install a blast furnace in 1837. The foundry is known to have specialized in statuary and decorative ironwork although cast iron pieces bearing the foundry's stamp are rare. Artistic production ceased at the outbreak of the First World War, when the foundry was given over to munitions production.
