This bronze studio co-worked with other trades, and put his name to a great variety of works, such as furnishing in particular. Attending every World's Fair of its time, the Barbedienne Foundry was regularly awarded, notably at the World's Fair of 1855 where it was awarded the Great Medal of Honour.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Parisian bronze maker and caster, Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892) created a firm in 1839 in collaboration with Achille Collas, the inventor of the mechanical method to produce copies of sculptures at a smaller scale. With this groundbreaking capacity, they facilitated an unprecedented production. Under the “Collas et Barbedienne” name, they specialized in Antiquity copies and perfected new chemical methods for the colour and patina finish of their bronzes. A great deal of famous sculptures are hence cast by the Barbedienne Foundry. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn collaboration with renowned enameller Alfred Serre, Barbedienne prodcued between 1878 and 1889 the Monumental Clock in Renaissance style, decorated with enamels, which is preserved in the Paris City Hall.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1859, Achille Collas’s death gives him entire property of the foundry. His production’s excellency entitles him Head of the Bronze Industry Committee in 1865. When he died in 1892, his heir Gustave Leblanc-Barbedienne (1849-1945) takes over the foundry, then called “Leblanc-Barbedienne”, specialized in monumental sculptures, and in activity until the mid 20th century. It is Leblanc-Barbedienne that will have the honor to work with Auguste
