Armand Frénais owned a silverware and cutlery factory located at 65 boulevard Richard Lenoir, Paris XIth, from 1877 to 1927.

He specialised in the sale of silver-plated articles, made of extra white metal that could be fired without alteration.

At the factory, a special workshop was dedicated solely to the re-silvering of English metal, as well as to the repair of all silverware.
