  How long has Bouvet been manufacturing decorative hardware?
Bouvet, created in 1884, is one of the oldest decorative hardware manufacturers in the world.
In 1884, Henri Bouvet started a long tradition of forged decorative hardware by handcrafting pieces for customers throughout Europe. For over a century, Bouvet has been creating decorative hardware products in the tradition of the finest French designs and craftsmanship. Bouvet is a family business and nowadays is still run by the great-grand sons of Henri Bouvet, Jean and Alain, who carry on their ancestor's dreams and creations.
When Bouvet was introduced to America in 1991, there was a mystique that surrounded this unique line of decorative hardware. Americans were attracted to and fascinated by this new line of hardware. It was so unlike the usual cast brass or machine-forged hardware to which they were so accustomed.
