In 1867 Adrien Céleste Pillon, a priest in the small village of Ercuis in the French department of Oise, 50 kilometers to the north of Paris, founded a company specializing in “artistic silverware, relief enamel, copper and silver plating, gilding and wire drawing” which grew rapidly. In 1888 The company rented premises at 65, rue de Bondy in Paris (now rue René Boulanger in the 10th arrondissement) which was to be used as a shop and for commercial activities. Production of flatware developed significantly along with hollowware. The hotel sector provided a major source of clients: from the early 20th century Ercuis supplied the top hotels of the Riviera and the Basque coast.
