The founding dates and information on finding a name for the company are missing, which I unfortunately could not find. An entry in the Journal officiel de la République française from 1941 indicates that the shop will be closed that year, unfortunately the text cannot be fully viewed here. - DVvD  | D̲̅ | 03:00, 19 Dec. 2016 (CET)

Les Neveux de Jules Lehmann ( German  The nephews of Jules Lehmann , also known as Les Neveux de J. Lehmann , also abbreviated to LNJL or LN Paris JL ) was a Parisian art foundry that primarily produced and sold statuettes from mostly bronze , Ivory or in combination as Chryselephantin on marble bases in the Art Deco period in the 1920s and 1930s.

The company's headquarters were at 26 Rue de Paradis, Paris. Another part of the company was located at 14 avenue de l'Opéra. There were also branches in 9 rue de la Republique in Lyon and in Via Spontini 7 in Florence . The company competed with other Éditeur d'art (art publishers) such as Arthur Goldscheider , Edmond Etling , Max Le Verrier , Susse Frères . The operator, Jules Levi-Lehmann, appreciated the work of the Art Deco artists and sold the products made according to their templates. These artists included sculptors such as Demétre Chiparus , Maurice Guiraud-Rivière , Jean-Antoine Injalbert , Agathon Léonard , Giacomo Merculiano , Constant Roux , Joé Descomps-Cormier , Pierre Le Faguays , Raoul Lamourdedieu , Jan and Joël Martel , Gaston Hauchecorne , Madeleine Granger , Claire Colinet , Amedeo Gennarelli , Alfred Pina , Georges Chauvel and Jean Ortis .

The company's sales catalog consisted of loose sheets, each of which was adapted to requirements and availability. At the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et industriels moderne from 1925 in Paris, which shaped the term Art Deco , the company exhibited in the French section of the Grand Palais in Hall B, Stand 38.

After Arthur Goldscheider's business closed in the mid-1930s, many of the sculptors and artisans who had been represented there by the artist groups La Stèle and L'Evolution switched to Les Neveux de Jules Lehmann. With the Second World War and the German occupation of France , the foundry production came to a standstill.
