From its inception in the 19th century, the Durenne foundry has been involved in prestigious projects (lighting of the Champs-Elysées, Alexandre-III bridge, Guimard metro entrances). It produced candelabras, fountains, animal statuary, as well as religious and secular statues. Renamed GHM in 1971, the art foundry continues to produce timeless models (Wallace fountains, bases for Morris columns) as well as the replicas of statues. In addition to these classic creations, it produces collections of public lighting and urban furniture, as well as masts for tramways.
