Translations:Paillard/2/en

The Paillard origins date back to the 1788 when P. C. Lambertye founded his business in the production of watercolors. The company changed hands several times, first in 1822 and then in 1850, when it became the property of J. M. Paillard, assuming his name. In 1895 Eugene Moreau took over the company, and from 1898 began to move production to Mouy. The company was established as "Société Anonyme des anciens Établissements J. M. Paillard" in 1903.
