In 1842, David Haviland made Limoges the cradle of limitless art, the world capital of porcelain. Limoges porcelain is experiencing irreversible growth and David Haviland is acclaimed by the whole world for his innovative eye. He obtained rewards in 1853 in New York, a gold medal at the Crystal Palace Exhibition, then the French government saluted his talent, awarding him a silver medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1855. 1864, Haviland becomes the most important French porcelain factory. Certain Royal families and heads of state around the world have succumbed to the charm and prestige of this Limoges porcelain. Among them we find the wife of Napoleon III: Empress Eugénie, President Jacques Chirac, Prince Rainier of Monaco, as well as Presidents Roosevelt and Lincoln, to name but a few. Maison Haviland has been contributing to French excellence for over 175 years by sublimating the most beautiful tables of the greatest Palaces in the world such as the Ritz Paris, The Dorchester in London, The Shangri-la Hotel Paris.
