In 1872, Otto Leonard Wiskemann, a member of a German family with a long history in silversmithing, started a workshop on Rue des Longs Chariots in Brussels. In the years prior, he had worked as an apprentice in Paris, acquiring the necessary skills of the craft. He also witnessed the introduction of electrolytic silver plating, brought to mainland Europe by Charles Christofle from England. Thanks to this experience and knowledge, Otto was able to establish a company in the 1870s that would later become Belgium's most renowned silversmith and a symbol of quality. The golden years were between the two World Wars. The company eventually collapsed in the 1970s; a century of Belgian silver craftsmanship came to an end.
