Braquenié et Cie was a French fabric designer and manufacturer. The company was founded in 1823.[1]

History

The company was founded in 1823 by Pierre-Antoine Doineau and his wife Louise-Desirée Doineau.[2] Around 1840 the company opened a factory at Aubusson, France.[3] In 1842 the company renamed itself Demy-Doineau et Braquenié, Manufacture Royale de Tapis et de Tapisserie.[4] Two years later, Demy-Doineau et Braquenié exhibited at the French Industrial Exposition of 1844 in Paris.[4]

In 1858 the brothers Alexandre and Charles-Henri Braquenié took over the company, renaming it Braquenié frères;[2][3] In 1873 this was changed to Braquenié et Cie.[4] In 1898 the company purchased land and a former fabric factory in Felletin, France.[3][5]

Its clients included the Kings Louis-Philippe, Napoléon III and his wife Eugénie, the family Rothschild and the Vatican.[6]

Examples of their work are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York[2] and the National Gallery of Art, Washington.[7]

Closure

The factory at Felletin closed in 1958 or 1959.[3] Its factories at Malines and d'Aubusson closed in 1987 and 1990, respectively.[3] In 1991 the company and its designs were acquired by Pierre Frey.[5]
