The Raingo brothers quickly stood out for their bronzes. In fact, the Raingo brothers, first known as watchmakers, added artistic and furniture bronzes to their catalog. From 1860, Maison Raingo created remarkable pieces for the Emperor and Empress Eugénie, a collection which can be admired today at the Louvre. The Raingo brothers carried out productions based on the Antique then, later, produced small models of the works of contemporary artists such as Pradier, Carrier-Belleuse or Auguste Moreau.
