In 1797, Joseph Dufour started the company together with his brother Pierre in Macon on Rue de la Paroisse. The designer Jean-Gabriel Charvet, renowned in Lyon, worked for them. Their first few years were not very successful; in 1800 they went into liquidation and Pierre left the company. By 1801, the business was operating under the name Joseph Dufour et Cie (translation: Joseph Dufour and Company). Then the company grew rapidly. In 1805, the company employed more than 90 workers. Following the Savages’ success at the Fourth Exhibition of Products of the French Industry in 1806, Joseph Dufour moved to Paris in the Faubourg Saint Antoine. His company quickly became famous in Europe and America, not only for its panoramics but also for its repeating wallpaper. The company employed the talent of famous designers such as Xavier Mader and Evarist Fragonard. Joseph Dufour died in Paris in 1827.
