Born in Novara in Italy in 1860, Victor Aimone is active in Turin and then in Paris in 1890, when his workshop is located at 16 rue de Vienne. Then it is successively located at 37 rue de Rome in 1897 and 5 rue Dareau in 1910. He participated at the Salons of French Artists since 1897 until the First World War. He gained a great notoriety and earned several orders as this armchair now kept in the church of Saint-Maurice in Ile-Bouchard. Paul-Émile Miot (1827-1900), in 1896, following the redeployment of the Navy Museum in 19 rooms of the Louvre, personally orders to Aimone four sculptures on the theme of the four continents. These sculptures are now kept in the Navy Museum in Paris.
