Founded
in 1880 by Edmond TÃtard (1860-1901) following the purchase of the
house of Mr. Hugo. In 1889, he participated in the World Expo and
received a Gold Medal. The house specializes in services and Louis XV
style pieces. In 1901, the house was taken over by his three sons,
Henri, Jacques and Georges under the name TÃtard Frères. From the 1920s,
the house works after the models of Valery Bizouard (1875-1945) and
Louis Tardy (1881-1978), creators of Avant Garde. Jean TÃtard
(1907-1980), son of Henri, also designs models for the paternal
workshop. At the International Colonial Exhibition of 1931, TÃtard
brothers won an exceptional prize list: ten medals were awarded to the
creators of models and collaborators of the house.
TÃtard Frères,
along with Puiforcat and Christofle, was one of the leading makers of
French Art Deco silver. With a long history of exceptional
silversmithing which includes gold medals at 19th century world fairs,
Maison TÃtard began making silver in the style moderne during the 1920s
under the design leadership of ValÃry Bizouard.
