Georges Émile Henri Servant (1828-c.1890) succeeded his father at his foundry in rue Vielle-du-Temple and specialized in the Egyptian revival style and the rapidly growing goût Grec. He also collaborated with Emile Hébert on revival pieces. A fine table on which they worked together was sold at Sotheby's London, February 26, 1999, lot 205. He retired some time before the Paris Exhibition of 1889.
