Founded in 1880 by Edmond Tétard (1860-1901) following the purchase of the house of Mr. Hugo. In 1889, he participated in the World Expo and received a Gold Medal. The house specializes in services and Louis XV style pieces. In 1901, the house was taken over by his three sons, Henri, Jacques and Georges under the name Tétard Frères. From the 1920s, the house works after the models of Valery Bizouard (1875-1945) and Louis Tardy (1881-1978), creators of Avant Garde. Jean Tétard (1907-1980), son of Henri, also designs models for the paternal workshop. At the International Colonial Exhibition of 1931, Tétard brothers won an exceptional prize list: ten medals were awarded to the creators of models and collaborators of the house.

Tétard Frères, along with Puiforcat and Christofle, was one of the leading makers of French Art Deco silver. With a long history of exceptional silversmithing which includes gold medals at 19th century world fairs, Maison Tétard began making silver in the style moderne during the 1920s under the design leadership of Valéry Bizouard.
