Queillé

1834-1846 1847-1895
The Queillé family, Parisian manufacturers of silver cutlery and table silverware during the 19th century, enjoyed a longevity of almost a century, during which the company passed from father to son. The hallmark "an antique oar between the initials PQ" remained unchanged, apart from a few small differences, throughout the company's history.
The spoon maker Pierre-François Queillé I registered his hallmark in 1808 and continued his activity until 1834.
Pierre-François Queillé II, a cutlery maker based at 70 Faubourg Montmartre, registered his mark on 23 October 1834. The hallmark is crossed out on 27 November 1846 (ref. N° 03068 of the Archives de la Garantie, Paris, register of registration 1820-1840).
Then Eugène Queillé, goldsmith, took over the workshop, moved to 8 Petite rue Saint-Roch-Poissonnière, and registered his hallmark on 11 February 1847 (ref. N° 01562 of the Archives de la Garantie, Paris). In 1874 the Queillés moved to 11 rue des Petits-Carreaux in a goldsmiths' district where they continued their activity until 1895, when the workshop was taken over by Antoine Lapparra.
