Relatively little is known about Pierre Lenordez origins and personal history, although he exhibited at the Salon between 1855 to 1877. He lived and worked in Caen throughout his career and made a niche among the socially elite of the French Riviera, receiving commissions from prominent horse owners and those in racing circles.

The Parisian firm of Graux-Marly was established in 1845, with premises at 37, boulevard du Temple. In 1849 the company won a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle and this was bettered six years later by a first-class medal for the bronzes d'art et d'ameublement manufactured at its new and larger atelier at 41, boulevard du Temple. The business was taken over by Graux-Marly's sons on the retirement of their father in 1864.
