The Lunéville Faïencerie
In 1712, Jean-Jacques Chambrette (1683-1751), master earthenware maker in Dijon, was authorized to create, for the Count of Fontenoy, a company in Lorraine in Champigneulles. Jean-Jacques Chambrette managed this earthenware factory until 1731. At that date he left Champigneulles for Lunéville. The son of Jean-Jacques Chambrette was already established in Lunéville in 1722 as an earthenware merchant. It was in 1730 that the first pieces came out of the ovens. In 1749, Jacques Chambrette was authorized to work pipe clay, luminously white earthenware was produced and in 1753, the earthenware factory was elevated to the rank of royal factory. The workforce is then around 250 workers. Chambrette acquires a property in Saint-Clément. It was in 1758 that he obtained authorization to begin manufacturing earthenware there. In 1766 the two earthenware factories separated and the Lunéville site was bought in 1785 by Sébastien Keller and Alexandre Cuny. In 1793 he joined forces with Sébastien Keller and from 1832 the company took the name of Keller and Guérin until 1923. After the difficulties of the Great War the problem of succession at the head of the earthenware quickly arose. Unable to find buyers in their family, the Kellers and Guérins were forced to sell. It was Edouard Fenal who in 1923 became the owner of Lunéville Saint-Clément after purchasing all of the Keller and Guérin shares. In 1983, the Lunéville site ended, but work continued at Saint-Clément.
