Pierre-Philippe Thomire, born in Paris on December 6, 1751 and died in the same city on June 9, 1843, was a French sculptor, bronzier, founder, chaser and gilder. One of the most remarkable bronziers of his generation, he is recognized for his production of bronze furniture under the Ancien Régime. He raised this profession under the Empire to its highest level of quality, while creating in the first years of the 19th century, an industrial company whose influence was European. He retired in 1823.
