In 1855 the first blast furnaces were installed. By the 1860s, numerous examples of bas-reliefs, fountains, statues and vases were being produced and the firm began exhibiting its wares at various exhibitions, for example the 1862 International Exhibition in Paris. By the 1870s the firm was also producing balconies, balustrades, fireplaces, lamp posts amongst its other castings. In 1888 the foundry acquired the address of S.A.d.F. du Val d'Osne, Paris, Rue du Faubourg Poissonniere, 26* *modernism.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll our items are genuine antique\/vintage pieces and therefore can have some signs of age related use or wear, this adds to the character and uniqueness of each of them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e We try to give accurate measurements wherever possible, however where items are unusual shapes please trust our approx dimensions to be as close as possible\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LCT Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54295824826709,"sku":"NTN-DRN-FND-STY","price":3295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/7515\/2981\/files\/antoine-durenne-satyr-cast-iron-urn-green-french.jpg?v=1783691319","url":"https:\/\/lcthome.com\/products\/antoine-durenne-foundry-satyr-mask-cast-iron-urn","provider":"LCT Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
