**It was in 1928 that Camille Le Tallec, a young graduate of the École du Louvre, created his own porcelain decoration workshop in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. The venue's reputation quickly grew, and the entrepreneur's collaborations with renowned brands multiplied, such as his partnership with the Puitforcat brand, now owned by the Hermès group. In 1991, Tiffany & Co., seeking to meet the growing demand of its customers, acquired Atelier Le Tallec. The excellent reputation of the Parisian manufacturer, as well as the reduction in the number of industries dedicated to artisanal porcelain painting, made this choice an obvious one for the American jeweler.
