Victor Paillard (1805-1886), fut l'élève de Jean-François Denière, puis le collaborateur de Ferdinand Barbedienne (1810-1892). Connu comme l'un des plus talentueux bronziers de son temps, il ouvrit vers 1830 une maison d'objets d'art et d'ameublement. Parmi les nombreuses commandes officielles qu'il honnora, il participa notamment aux décors du palais des Affaires Étrangères, quai d'Orsay.
