He was patronized by the Rothschild family, the Marquess of Hertford and Alfred Morrison. Examples of his works are today preserved in the British Museum, the Musée d’Orsay and the Hermitage. his remarkable brooch made by Charles Duron is a wonderful example of mid-nineteenth century renaissance revival design.
