Fonderie du Val d'Osne, Industrial foundry in Osne-le-Val, France.
The Fonderie du Val d'Osne specialized in manufacturing urban furniture and decorative cast iron elements through advanced sand molding techniques.
Jean-Pierre-Victor André established the foundry in 1836, which became France's largest producer of art castings until the early twentieth century.
The foundry collaborated with notable sculptors including Mathurin Moreau and produced numerous public fountains, statues, and urban decorations.
The site ceased operations in 1986 and received monument historique designation in 1993, now undergoing restoration efforts by ANDRA.
The foundry's initial catalog contained between 40,000 and 50,000 different models, including 200 vases, 110 fountains, and 600 human statues.
