The Norblin factory was founded in 1809 by the goldsmithFilip Vorbrodt, who came to Warsaw from thesmall Anhalt Principality in Germany.His daughter, Henriette Leopoldina Augusta, first married the Frenchsilversmith Jean Cerisy and then (after her hudband\'s death in 1831) anotherFrench jeweller Vincent (in Polish, Wincenty) Norblin, the son of AlexanderJean Norblin, owner of a bronze factory in Warsaw. Vincent Norblin (1805-1872)significantly increased the production of silver and bronze items and organisedthe silver plating. In 1865 he sold the factory to his son Ludwig (in Polish,Ludwik) Norblin (1/2 of the whole capital), daughter Albertina Wilhelmina (1/4of the whole capital) and her husband A. Teodor Werner (1/4 of the wholecapital), who was the owner of another silver foundry in Warsaw.
