D'abord spécialisée dans la production de régules, la maison Blot et Drouard s'engagea dans l'activité de fondeur éditeur de bronzes à la fin du XIXe siècle sous l'implusion du fils du fondateur, Eugène Blot. Leur galerie du 5 boulevard Madeleine exposait au côté de leurs pièces des tableaux impressionnistes ainsi que des oeuvres de Camille Claudel pour qui la maison assura la fonte d'une partie de sa production.
