Altenloh Bruxelles was born in 1832, when Édouard Altenloh began his training as a silversmith in Brussels. His son, Ernest Altenloh, was in charge of opening the first store in rue de la Madeleine, in the heart of Brussels, near the Grand-Place and the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert. The success of the store was such that the need for a larger space soon became apparent. Thus, the jewelry shop and workshop were moved to the Place Royale, where the Magritte Museum is now located, close to the Royal Palace. The official founding of the company as Compagnie de Joaillerie et Orfèvrerie Altenloh took place in 1878. Prestige soon followed, and in 1910, Ernest Altenloh was awarded the Grand Prix d'Art at the Universal Exhibition in Brussels. Robert and Yvan, belonging to the next generation, took the company to new heights, consolidating the Altenloh brand throughout Europe. The jewelry was highly valued by numerous royal houses, who commissioned unique and exceptional pieces. In addition, the company received recognition as an Official Supplier to the Belgian Court, supplying jewelry and goldsmith's items to royal families.
