Le Tallec extended its reputation to the most prestigious tables, including orders for Queen Elizabeth II of England, Kings Mohammed V and Hassan II of Morocco, Queen Juliana of Holland, Prince of Qatar Abdelaziz bin Ahmed Al Thani, Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the French Republic, the City of Paris, and a few large fortunes or artists. At the end of the 2000s, the Le Tallec workshop suffered the consequences of the global financial crisis and saw its activity, which was closely linked to the American market due to its ties with Tiffany, decline. It closed its doors for good in 2014 after nearly 90 years of continuous activity. Sent by registered and insured Colissimo
