Le Tallec is an iconic name in Parisian porcelain, primarily known for its workshop founded by Camille Le Tallec (1906-1991).
Le Tallec's production focuses primarily on fine porcelain, hand-decorated using 18th and 19th century techniques and styles, in the tradition of the Sèvres factory. In 1930, Camille Le Tallec took over the family porcelain decoration workshop, located in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, and transformed it into a renowned studio, bringing together up to thirty specialized painters.
The studio is distinguished by the quality of its hand-painted decorations, free from copies or pastiches, but with great respect for traditional French craftsmanship.
Nearly 375 original decorations were created or preserved by Le Tallec, of which around one hundred are considered major and popular, including the "Attributes of Music" decoration.
Le Tallec produced a wide variety of pieces: vases, coffee and tea services, jewelry boxes, soup tureens, planters, and decorative objects, all in hand-painted porcelain, often richly adorned with gold.
Some works were commissioned for prestigious figures and institutions, including Queen Elizabeth II, the French Republic, and the Shah of Iran.
