The Parisian Maison Linzeler & Marchak in the Rue de la Paix was founded in 1922 by the two jewellers Robert Linzeler and Alexander Marchak, who was of Ukrainian descent. Both came from famous jeweller families steeped in tradition. At the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925, they were honoured with the Grand Prix for their Art Deco work. They were recognised for their elegant designs and outstanding craftsmanship. However, their co-operation ended as early as 1927.
