Charles Théodore Perron (1862–1934) was a French sculptor renowned for his refined bronze works and decorative art objects, active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Paris, Perron trained at the École des Beaux-Arts and became known for his elegant figurative sculptures, often depicting allegorical or mythological subjects. His style is characterized by a delicate attention to detail and a harmonious balance between realism and idealism, aligning with the Art Nouveau and early Art Deco movements that flourished in France during his career.

Perron's works were regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon, where he received critical acclaim and several honors, including medals for his contributions to the arts. His sculptures have been acquired by notable institutions, such as the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, underscoring his significance within the French artistic tradition. At auction, Perron's bronzes and decorative pieces have appeared at major houses including Sotheby’s and Christie’s, where they continue to attract collectors interested in turn-of-the-century French sculpture. His legacy endures through his meticulous craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of his elegant, expressive forms.
