Robert Linzeler (1872–1941) was the grandson of Eugène Linzeler, a goldsmith and sculptor who had founded his eponymous workshop in Paris in 1840. Robert established his own business and purchased in 1897 that of Jules Piault, a goldsmith and cutler, from his successors, Leroy & Co. Piault had been Napoleon III's goldsmith and jeweler, and Linzeler built upon this prestigious legacy while expanding the company’s range of creations.
In 1922, Linzeler entered into a partnership with the Russian jeweler Marchak. Together, they exhibited at the 1925 International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris, where they were awarded the Grand Prix. Linzeler also became a supplier to major luxury houses, including Cartier, producing their table ware until Cartier eventually acquired the business shortly around 1932.

Lot Essay

Robert Linzeler (1872‑1941) était le petit‑fils d’Eugène Linzeler, orfèvre et sculpteur qui avait fondé sa maison éponyme à Paris en 1840. Robert créa sa propre entreprise et, en 1897, racheta celle de Jules Piault, célèbre orfèvre et coutelier, à ses successeurs, la maison Leroy & Cie. Piault avait été orfèvre et joaillier de Napoléon III, et Linzeler s’appuya sur cet héritage prestigieux tout en élargissant la gamme de la maison.
En 1922, Linzeler s’associa au joaillier russe Marchak. Ensemble, ils exposèrent à l’Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes de Paris en 1925, où ils remportèrent le Grand Prix. Linzeler devint également fournisseur de grandes maisons, notamment Cartier, qui lui commandait presque exclusivement ses piéces de forme, et finit par racheter l'entreprise vers 1932.
