Partners since 1846, the Corneau brothers, Alfred (1825-1886) and Emile (1826-1906), settled ten years later in the Petit-Bois district of Charleville, at the current location of the Deville factory. In 1859, set up in their small factory, a former ironwork workshop, two cupolas, in order to devote themselves to the foundry of second fusion. This new activity was then booming in the north of the Ardennes department. Employing 300 employees in the early 1890s, the former Corneau Frères factory specialized in “household and ornamental cast iron and heating appliances”. Among the Ardennes foundries of the time, the Petit-Bois foundry stood out for its production of beautiful cast iron objects, including magnificent umbrella stands, benches, vases, and funerary crosses.
