Today there are fewer than fifty goldbeatters left in the world.

In France the last to carry on this ancient profession, but perhaps one of the most ardent, is Bernard Dauvet.
Bernard represents the fifth generation of the Dauvet goldbeaters.

The dauvet family has been bound together for nearly two centuries by the same trade.
Long before the company was founded in 1834 they were already beating gold, and ever since, each generation of the Dauvet family has handed down the technique, and with it, the love of goldbeating.
From father to son the Dauvets have devoted their lives to maintaining and developing their chosen trade.
Goldbeating is in the family genes. That is what makes the difference.
