In 1878, his two sons took over the firm under the name "Keller fils et gendre successeurs" and added tableware and other objects to their activities. Production wins awards at the World's Fairs of 1889 and 1900. Keller's reputation was so strong that official orders poured in, including from the courts of Spain, Romania, Greece, Russia and the Principality of Monaco. Established in Paris at 65, rue de Turbigo, Keller moved its store and workshop to 22, rue Joubert in 1891. In 1929, the store was registered at 18, avenue Matignon. The company ceased trading around 1947.
