VERAMY
started life as CARMONTRAND around 1850, specializing in the manufacture and
the sale of bridal ornaments.
In
1900, François LAMOTTE acquired CARMONTRAND, DOMPTET, CARLIER THEIBERT and the
Maison SAVARY, grouped under the LAMOTTE name, and the only French company in
this market. Its HQ offices were in rue Charlot in the Marais district of Paris.
At this time the first blown glass globes appeared, primarily to protect
bridal ornaments and clocks.
In
1930, François LAMOTTE's son Henri, took over the family business and
transferred the HQ to rue Saintonge in Paris. This was when the company started
to produce its first gold leaf gilded exhibition windows and showcases for French National Museums. Genevieve HAMY, the daughter of Henri LAMOTTE continued
operations until the end of the second world war (1946). The company
left central Paris and moved to 3, Avenue du Clos, 94210 la Varenne Saint
Hilaire. In 1976, Genevieve HAMY passed the company to her daughter and
son-in-law, Christiane & Jacques MEURISSE.
To
perpetuate the craft manufacture of handmade protective glazing for objets
d'art, blown glass domes
and Bowed glazing, William WOOD acquired VERAMY in 2003.
Strange
but true, the new owner lives in the same street!
So
60 years later, VERAMY has almost the same address.
We
are currently writing the future…
"Traditions
express timeless values."
