Large 19th C Corneau Frères Charleville Grey Cast Iron Urn

About the Item

Dating to circa 1860 this stunning heavy cast iron urn of large proportions by the Corneau Charleville Foundry is in superb condition. Measures: height 48.5 cm x width 57cm (handle to handle) x depth 42cm. Opening is 25 cm and the base is 23 cm across. The Corneau brothers Emile and Alfred became business partners in 1846, by 1856 they had set up in the Petit-Bois district of Charleville, and 3 years later in 1859 they opened foundry Corneau Frères, which speacialised in household cast iron ornamental items and heating appliances. By 1870 Emile focused his time on politics becoming mayor of Charleville in 1879, and a year later in 1880 he became a senator, leaving his brother Alfred to run the foundry, which is when many pieces became stamped with the Alfred Corneau A Charleville mark, this foundry later came under the control of Albert Deville, the son-in law of Alfred Corneau.
