The Espuñes Silverware Factory was founded in Madrid in 1840 by the Catalan Ramón Espuñes, although it would be the advances implemented by his son Luis and his commercial vision that would give greater prestige and renown to the family business. Although most of the work was destined to the creation of pieces for civilian use such as cutlery, they received the title of silversmiths of the Royal House for the Columbus Tableware, a gift to Queen Isabella II that included a candlestick representing Columbus receiving gifts from the American Indians. The firm acquired so much fame and volume that it not only sold products at a national level, but also crossed the frontier and even had warehouses in Barcelona, Havana and Mexico.
