The name Sallandrouze de Lamornaix gave its name to one of the largest French companies of the First Empire; at the first national exhibition of industrial products in Paris in 1802, the company was then called Rogier et Sallandrouze, born from the partnership between Jean Sallandrouze de Lamornaix and the mayor of Aubusson, Guillaume Rogier. Then the opening of a velvet carpet factory in the Marais district of Paris, and the succession of his son, Charles Sallandrouze de Lamornaix, propelled the company to incredible successes.
The success continued with the takeover by Charles's son, Octave, but suffered the full effects of the defeat against Prussia and the company was forced to close its doors in 1872, only to be reborn a few years later under the name of the Manufacture de Saint Jean.
Beyond the works produced, this book invites us to (re)discover a whole section of French history – political, industrial and artistic.
