Maison Odiod (est. 1690)

Since its founding in 1690 by Jean-Baptiste Gaspard Odiot, the house of Odiot turned into one of the finest silver smiths of its time - under rule of Louis XV. Their success was founded in part on the high volume of orders from the imperial family; Odiot manufactured the crib for the king of Rome, son of Napoleon Bonaparte, which is now in the Vienna treasure chambers. The return of antique styles and use of gilded silver had a particular influence on the decoration and production processes. The reputation of the house of Odiot had always preceded it, and soon all of Europe knew of it. Today’s president Nicolas de La Mornière continues to create elegant works of extraordinary technical and artistic grade.
