GRANDE MAISON DE JOAILLERIE,

Les BOURDIERLa

Maison BOURDIER deserves all our attention, having produced jewellery that is still recognized but has not maintained its notoriety. Even if Henri VEVER does not mention it, it was created in the 19th century by Théodule BOURDIER, let us note a fact which is not insignificant, this one was the brother-in-law of the great Alfred CARTIER and was followed by his son Georges. The House always remained at the height of its major competitors on rue de la Paix. Indeed its last establishment was at 18 rue de la Paix, just opposite CARTIER, at the time of its takeover by the Joaillier Paillette who skilfully kept the name.
