Maison Cardeilhac
Goldsmith's house established by Antoine-Vital Cardeilhac in 1804 and located at 4 rue du Roule.
He recorded hallmarks in 1817, 1820 and June 20, 1829. The symbol is "a crowned cross of the Legion of Honor and a crescent below".
The house was run from 1851 to 1885 by his son Armand-Edouard. In 1885 Ernest Cardeilhac, his Grandson, took over the management of the house. It is with him that begins the realization of pieces of gold and silver.
Amélie, widow of Armand-Edouard Cardeilhac, continued the activities of the house from 1904 to 1913 at 24 place Vendôme for the manufacture of gold and silver and from 1904 to 1920 at 91 rue de Rivoli for the goldsmith's work. Then in 1920 the two sons of Ernest Cardeilhac, Jacques and Pierre, took over until 1951 when the company was amalgamated with the Christofle house.
