One of the highest symbols of status in the 19th Buenos Aires was the size and quality of the mansion you owned.

A good home was expected to have installed the finest marble, the most beautiful vitreaux, rare woods and decorative cast iron.

And if you were looking for the best cast iron, the Val d'Osne Foundry was the best choice you have.

This catalog belongs to the A. Motteau Foundry, who had the distinction of being the official representatives of the Val d'Osne in Argentina.

This book has 54 illustrated pages showing some of the available products, like balustrades, columns, lights, stairs and statues.
