La Maison Servant fait partie du jury de l'Exposition universelle de Paris de 1878, mais elle est également l'un des principaux fournisseurs d'œuvres en bronze de l'exposition. Parmi les objets récompensés, la société présente cette jardinière de style Louis XVI ceinte d'une frise émaillée polychrome, ainsi qu'une table néo-classique soutenue par quatre figures de musiciens flûtistes, aujourd'hui conservée au musée d'Orsay (OAO 1389). Le catalogue illustré de l'Exposition Internationale de Paris décrit les oeuvres de la Maison Servant comme "contribuant largement à l'Exposition par des ouvrages qui dominent les autres et dont M. Servant est le principal créateur » (op. cit. 1878, p. 64).
