    Jules-Constant Peyre, French, 1811-1870, (born-active), a pair of "ceramo-marbre" portrait reliefs of Empress Eugenie and Napoleon III, third quarter 19th century, each signed J.PEYRE, and with maker"s stamp to reverse Nouveau Modeles Ceramo-Marbre, Propriété de L'Editeur, in brass slip frames, 18cm diameter Note: Peyre was born in Sedan, and having trained under the famous animalier sculptire Bayre he joined the Sevre porcelain factory as a modeller (1845-1848) and went on to become Chief Designer (1856-1871). During some kind of sabbatical in the early 1850s he took obe of the factory's most distinctive material formulations, bisque porcelain, and developed it into a much more durable and versatile synthetic marble, which he called "ceramo-marble". Exploiting this new product he began to commercialise a range of portrait medallions based on his own deisgns. In 1855 he sculpted a medallion of Princess Eugenie which was based on a life-size marble bust created in the previous year by Alfred-Emilien, comte de Niewerke. Peyre then sculpted a matching medallion of the Emperor himself, and marketed the resulting Imperial Pair in a range of different sizes, typically 7-10cm. The present lot is unusually large and rare example of this model. Please refer to department for condition report
