SUSSES FRERES

The Susse brothers company was created in 1758 in Paris, originally a stationery business, it gained its reputation in the art foundry. Today it is the oldest art foundry in France still in operation under the Susse Fondeur brand.

The two Susse brothers, Nicolas and Victor, began by marketing small bronzes in their stationery store at 17 Passage des Panoramas in Paris. We find traces of their new activity as art founders in 1839, they published a small catalog of their production. It was their first major contract with a renowned sculptor, James Pradier, who launched their business in 1841.
