Emile Colin, a renowned founder established since 1843 at 29, rue de Sévigné in Paris, began publishing works by the greatest masters of French sculpture as early as 1855, such as A.E. Carrier-Belleuse (The Zouave), J. Pradier (The Three Graces, Venus Consoling Love), or J.B. Carpeaux from 1875 onwards (The Child with the Horn), along with the Parisian silversmith Christofle. He stamped his bronzes with the inscription "E. Colin & Cie" from 1882 to 1898. The mark evolved to "M. Colin & Cie" from 1898 to 1906, then to "Ancienne Maison Colin, Jollet & Cie" from 1906 to 1923. Enjoying international reputation, Emile Colin sent bronze works, including marble-mounted vases and a large bronze clock, to the Universal Exhibition in Chicago in 1893. By the end of the 19th century, the Colin house ranked among the greatest bronze founders alongside Barbedienne, Susse, and Siot-Decauville. Upon Emile Colin's death in 1900, his old models were sold to the Doistal house, on Avenue Daumesnil in Paris, a company that has since disappeared. The Colin house was once again honored at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, notably with stylish lighting fixtures designed by Léon Messagé.
