Blancherie Frères are the manufacturers of these wonderful hollow-cast lead French Zoo Animals. I started collecting these only a couple of years ago and in my opinion they produce some of the most realistic animals. They were made, so I understand between the two World Wars. The similarity between some of them and those of other manufacturers, especially Britains is obvious but they are never exactly the same and in many cases the paint is of a higher standard. Early examples are sprayed whereas the later versions were brush-painted.
 

These are the very rare Blancherie Frères Giraffes They are extremely hard to find especially in this condition. They are very similar to the  Britains Adult Giraffe but about three quarters  of the size
