After attending the Royal School of Drawing and training as a chiseler, he became the pupil of Jean-François Denière and a collaborator of Ferdinand Barbedienne. By 1830, Paillard had quickly established himself as a maker of 'bronzes of art and furnishing', first at 105 Boulevard Beaumarchais Paris and later at 6 Rue Saint-Claude, Paris. Although he initially specialised in producing small objects including candelabra and statuettes he began exhibiting at the Exposition des produits de l'industrie in 1839 and this led on to him experimenting with gilt and silvered bronze in the 1840s.The 1851 Great ExhibitionIn 1851 his refined techniques in metal finishing caused great admiration at the London Great Exhibition where a Mr E. Beres commented 'Mr. V. Paillard excels in the novel art of oxidising bronze. His silver hues are perfect and, at first glance, deceive even an expert eye...'. In the Art-Journal Illustrated Catalogue for the first universal exhibition, Paillard's entries are listed as including a Louis XV style gilt bronze clock and a group of tableware and sculptures. Additionally on page 289, a near identical single vase with goat and putto finial to the cover is shown in a black and white outline along with other decorative pieces which bears almost exact similarities to one of a pair of vases offered. The accompanying text for the illustration reads as follows:'In an early page of the catalogue we introduced two single examples of the BRONZES of MR M (sic?) PAILLARD of PARIS. We now bring forward a GROUP composed from his numerous contribution's in the exhibition. In the centre is a Noble VASE, of porcelain, in the Louis style, with bronze ornaments, festoons of flowers and figures. To the right is the well known group of THE CUPIDS STRUGGLING FOR THE HEART'. The remainder of the composition is made up of statuettes, candelabra, vases and other objects.'Commissions and ClientsVictor Paillard amongst others worked for the cabinet maker Alexandre-Georges Fourdinois, Honoré de Balzac, the Prince of Galliera, Abel Laurent, Louis-Constantin Detouche, Officer of the Legion of Honour, and Knight of the Iron Crown in Austria and numerous Russian nobility. He was appointed a member of the jury of the 1855 Universal Exhibition and in 1874, a Councillor of Paris and Mayor of the 3rd arrondissement. He also received many official commissions, notably during the decoration of the hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Quai d'Orsay (French Foreign Ministry) in Paris.Palliard is perhaps best remembered for his work the Quai d'Orsay which was located on the left bank of the Seine River. In the Ministry, the Salon du Congrès and the Salon de l'Horloge in particular display his great artistic and technical brilliance. Originally called the Salon des Attachés, the former was later renamed in memory of the 1856 Congress of Paris which ended the Crimean War. Dominated by an impressive Renaissance style chandelier decorated with putti and arabesques, the room also featured a patinated and gilt bronze clock resting on a green marble plinth emblematic of architecture and painting, two pairs of candelabra - one depicting The Three Graces, the other pair decorated with putti and bouquets of flowers and a pair of torchieres in the form of chimera, with flowers and garlands. Paillard also produced the famous clock in the Salon de l'Horloge from which the room takes its name along with bronze mounts for the impressive chimneypiece. As well as undertaking his own commissions Paillard also undertook the casting for a number of the most famous sculptors of the day including Barye, Carrier-Belleuse, Feuchère, Pradier, Preault and Klaggmann. As such he was to run one of the most successful and admired foundries in FranceRelated Liberature:Kjellberg, Pierre, Les Bronzes du XIX siècle, Dictionnaire des Sculpteurs, Les Editions de l'Amateur, (Paris), 1989; p.662.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
