Armand Frenais was one of the most prestigious Parisian silversmiths of the Belle Époque, known for challenging the dominance of giants like Christofle thanks to the production of items of the highest quality in both solid silver and silvered metal. Active between the mid-19th century and the early decades of the 20th century, the manufactory stood out for the use of resistant alloys such as nickel silver and brass, as well as an exclusive 'extra-white' metal that guaranteed a superior shine. The production identity is tied to the famous hallmark depicting an anchor accompanied by the initials "AF", a symbol that underwent several graphic evolutions over the decades, allowing today to date pieces accurately and distinguish the different historical phases of this French art house.
