MAISON ODIOT

Jean-Baptiste-Claude ODIOT (1763-1850) built, during the first quarter of the 19th century, the most prosperous French goldsmith's house and the most frequented by all the European courts of his time. Delivering services and prestigious pieces such as L'Épée du Sacre for NAPOLÉON, the Roi de Rome cradle or Empress MARIE-LOUISE toilet set, ODIOT is one of the most illustrious goldsmiths under the Empire and the Restoration.
After his father, Jean-Baptiste-Gustave ODIOT took charge of the company in 1865, until 1894.
ODIOT remains one of the world's most prestigious and luxurious goldsmiths. 

The pieces of ODIOT adorn the most important private collections of goldsmiths but also the collections of the most prestigious public institutions in France such as MUSÉE DU LOUVRE, MUSÉE DES ARTS DÉCORATIFS, LE MOBILIER NATIONAL, but also abroad such as THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM and the MOMA in New York or the VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM and the BRITISH MUSEUM in London.
