Maison Odiot was founded in 1690, during the reign of Louis XIV, by Jean-Baptiste Gaspard Odiot, a skilled silversmith.
Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte gave Jean-Baptiste Claude, grandson of Jean-Baptiste Gaspard, many prestigious commissions for himself and his families, such as the sacred scepter, the royal sword, and the King of Rome cradle. Immense dinner services were ordered by Pauline Borghèse, Napoleon's mother, and by the Emperor himself.
Jean-Baptiste Claude was influenced by the return of the classical Greek and Egyptian motifs, as expressed in the Directoire and Empire styles. Court commissions helped further the reputation of Maison Odiot, and the firm provided vermeil services to courts across Europe.
Charles Nicolas Odiot, who excelled in the rocaille style, succeeded his father and became the purveyor by appointment to His Majesty King Louis-Philippe and the Royal Family of Orleans. His son Gustave later took over. Gustave received the House of Odiot's ever-consequent order of three thousand pieces of solid gold flatware for Saïd Pacha, the Viceroy of Egypt. He later became the purveyor by appointment to the court of His Imperial Majesty the Tsar of Russia. Gustave was also the last member of the Odiot family to preside over the company.
Odiot has been recognized as a unique silversmith thanks to the preservation of exceptional know-how, supported by an incomparable collection of molds and drawings built up over the centuries, based on its prestigious orders.
Odiot's story is rich and punctuated by meetings with important figures of History. It is also a source of inspiration for the constant search for beauty.
Today, as always, each piece designed by Odiot is handcrafted with the same passion and expertise. Their workshop has a team of craftspersons specializing in silversmithing and having multiple skills, creativeness, and aesthetic sense.

Odiot
Founded in 1690 by silversmith Jean-Baptiste Gaspard Odiot, the house of Odiot became quickly known as one of the best gold and silver workshops in France, specializing in decorative objects and cutlery.
The company found early favor from the court of reigning French king Louis XV, which laid the groundwork for later success. Odiot achieved even more prominence under the leadership of Jean-Baptiste Gaspard’s grandson, Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot, who took over the family business as a master in 1785. Odiot landed high-profile commissions by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, which translated into additional commissions by other royal families across Europe.
In 1827, Jean-Baptiste Claude handed the company to his son, Charles Nicolas Odiot, who would serve as the official supplier to King Louis-Philippe I and the Orléans royal family. Charles Nicolas specialized in Rococo-style silverware. The next-generation Odiot master, Jean-Baptiste Gustave Odiot, became the official supplier of silver to the czar of Russia and managed the house’s largest order to date: a 3,000-piece set of solid-gold dinnerware for Sa’id Pasha, the viceroy of Egypt.
Today, Odiot continues to produce exemplary silver and gold wares, from decorative objects to flatware, upholding the fine standards of the centuries-old brand. Odiot works can be found in museum collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Louvre in Paris.
