About Maker :
Robert Linzeler was the 3rd generation of a famous French jewelers family.  Robert’s father Frédéric had worked for the family business but Robert set up on his own and in 1897, at just 25 years old, he bought the business of Jules Piault, the renowned silversmith and cutler.
Linzeler built on this good foundation and ensured the finest quality goods whilst simultaneously expanding the firm's offering.  Linzeler registered his business in April of 1897, keeping the crown mark of Piault but substituting his own initials..  He exhibited at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris where his beautiful vases attracted much attention and praise and he was awarded a gold medal for the cutlery he exhibited
Linzeler was a supplier for important retailers such as Cartier for whom he made silverware for many years including candlesticks, desk sets, and dressing table accessories.
Cartier remained a client and the firm is believed to have helped support Linzeler in maintaining his workshops during the 1930s until they finally bought the business from him shortly before the outbreak of World War II.
