Measures: 66 cm W x 45 cm D x 16 cm H About Gustave Keller: The company was founded in 1856 by Gustave Keller, whose simple yet elegant sets and accessories were immediately appreciated around the worl for their premium quality. Keller was awarded with a gold and a silver medal at the 1867 and 1878 Paris World Exhibitions. After 1878, the Keller brothers succeeded the father and started producing silverware, which was again rewarded at the 1889 and 1900 world fairs respectively, with a gold medal and a Grand Prix. In his beginnings established at 65 rue de Turbigo in Paris, Keller moved their shop and workshop to 22 rue Joubert in 1891. In 1929, the shop was mentioned as trading from 18 Avenue Matignon and was still active possibly as late as 1947. In 1889, Lucien Falize wrote that "everything stamped Keller is good" (the firm was later known as "Keller fils et gendre successeurs"). Keller Company attracted brilliant and international customers and was appointed official supplier of several courts (Spain, Russia, Greece and Romania). The Russian Court was an important client and from 1897, the last Tsar regularly purchased artifacts from the Parisian silversmith. From the 1900s the firm was also commissioned to produce several important cups and trophies for the Principality of Monaco. The Zucca pattern Fendi hard suitcase shown at the images is avaliable at our 1stdibs storefront.
