  Jean-Jacques DUCEL, born on September 8, 1801, in Marseille, was a master ironworker based at 26 Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière in Paris. He was a copper, iron, and cast iron founder. He owned a foundry in Pocé-sur-Cisse in Touraine, which was one of the largest art foundries in France until his death in 1877. The company specialized in casting art objects and became one of the first establishments of its kind in France, using both classical models (Coustou, Coysevox, Le Hongre) and contemporary ones (Lequesne, Pradier, Duret). A retail store was opened in Paris, at 22 rue des Quatre-Fils and then at 26 boulevard Poissonnière. The castings were stamped J.J. DUCEL ET FILS A PARIS. His son did not continue the business in which he had been a partner with his father. The models from the Ducel foundry were purchased by the Vals d'Osne foundry in 1878.
