Arthus-Bertrand is a distinguished French producer of medals and honors, established in Paris in 1803 by Claude Arthus-Bertrand, who was formerly an army officer. Initially operating as a publishing firm for the French Naval Ministry, the business transitioned during the 1860s to specialize in crafting medals, decorations, and fine jewelry following its merger with the Marions, experts in military flag and decoration embroidery. The company currently employs close to 300 staff members.
Renowned artists including Frédéric Bartholdi and Fernand Léger have contributed designs to the enterprise. Arthus-Bertrand counts among its elite clientele the French government and holds the distinction of being the official producer of the French Legion of Honour. Additionally, it has manufactured insignia for notable entities such as the Society of the Cincinnati and the Order of Lafayette.
