Argental - second sketch (See first sketch). Argental manufactured cutlery and silverware in nickel silver, silver plated and silver plated. Its factory was in Coulommiers in the Seine et Marne department. It employed 250 people in 1930. The company was active throughout the first three quarters of the twentieth century.
The year 1931 marked a turning point in the iconographic history of Saint Raphaël with the appearance of the two café waiters in the brand's various creations. These two figures, also called the "Twins," were inspired by two actors: Armand Bernard and Paul Marien, or "Pauley" as he was known on stage: one is red, symbolizing Saint Raphaël Rouge, and the other is white, representing Saint Raphaël Ambré. They bring a unique soul and character to the brand.
