André Risler & Georges Carré
Risler & Carré
1897, André Risler and his partner Georges Carré established their boutique on the prestigious Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, specializing in fine silverware and exclusive jewelry. The brand quickly earned a distinguished reputation among the Parisian elite.
Ink Level Control Mechanism
Within just three years, Risler & Carré had firmly established themselves in the luxury market, earning a gold medal at the 1900 Paris World Exhibition, followed by numerous accolades at subsequent international exhibitions.
A particularly notable achievement was their exclusive participation in the 1904 Universal Exhibition in Saint Louis, USA, where only six French silversmiths were invited to exhibit.
This event secured Risler & Carré international acclaim.
Poinçon / Hallmarks
The firm was renowned for its exquisite creations in both the Louis XVI and the contemporary Art Nouveau styles.
André Risler personally designed most of the pieces produced by the house, and in recognition of his contributions, he was named a Chevalier of the Légion d’honneur by the French government in 1906 at the age of 43.
Following Risler’s untimely death, Maison Risler & Carré closed its doors in 1912.
