Flamen-Fleury manufactory in Paris, 1814-1830.

Lit: In 1798, Jacques René Fleury acquired a small porcelain factory in Paris. Like his son-in-law Flamen-Fleury, he gave his business a remarkable boost.
When Mr. Fleury remarried in 1809, after his widowhood, he was a wealthy man whose factory was in full operation. He died in 1813. His widow soon ran into financial difficulties, caused in particular by a fire that destroyed her property in Moscow. She sold the factory to her daughter-in-law Elisabeth Fleury (born in 1794) when she married Placide Félicien Fleury, a thread manufacturer from Lille. From then on, the company was known as Flamen-Fleury, and in 1823 it was awarded the coveted title of “Supplier to the Crown’s Grand Furniture”, which brought the Court’s clientele. During the 1823 exhibition, the King bought a pair of porcelain and crystal vase-lamps, and in 1827, the King bought a dessert service to give to Madame (probably the one where every piece is in the shape of shells). Madame Fleury died in 1826, followed by bankruptcy in 1828. Mr. Sylvain Déséglises bought the building that same year and continued production until 1840.
