4Lemovicum origins
Lemovicum, the official ancestor of Limoges, finds its previous history 2 km downstream of its current place. Lemovicum was the capital of the Lemovices, Celtics of Central Europe, who settled down in our region between 400 and 700 before Christ. These people controlled a vast territory containing Limousin, Poitou and some islands of the Atlantic coast.
In a official way, the name of Lemovices is translated by "those who win by the elm", the elm being the wood with which their lance was made.
Lemovicum, that finally appeared about 12 years before Christ and was situated on major economic axes, rapidly became an important center of exchanges and traffics within the Roman empire of Gaul. Its prosperity and its greatness were such as arenas bigger than Nîmes ones could be found.
World capital of the ceramics, Limoges (... or formerly Lemovicum), knew from the 12th century a universal reputation with enamels and from the 18th with porcelain.
According to us, Lemovicum is the representation of a know-how and a tradition which we try hard to immortalize within our studio of decoration. That is why our company is so called, in order to illustrate our diligence in the conception of fine porcelain and our faithfulness to ancestral manufacturing processes. |
