About:
The Bettenfeld-Rosenblum Workshop was founded in 1895 by Jean Bettenfeld. It was one of the most important art leatherwork workshops of this period. It participated in the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1900 and the Saint Louis Exhibition in 1904. Suzanne Bettenfeld, sister of Jean Bettenfeld, took over the workshop after her brother's death in 1964. Then, she asked Bernard Rosenblum to succeed her in 1965. He took over the workshop in 1965 and continued to build the prestige of this workshop.
