Scarlet-dyeing workshops in Paris, named after Jehan Gobelin.
Named after Jehan Gobelin, who established a dyeing workshop in the Faubourg Saint-Marcel area in the 15th century, the factory gradually expanded to include the banks of the Bièvre River. Specializing in scarlet dyeing, the Gobelins took part in the development of the kingdom's factories under Henri IV, in order to limit costly imports. In 1662, Colbert acquired the Gobelins, which became the "It was from this period that masterpieces such as "L'Histoire d'Alexandre" after Le Brun and "L'Histoire de Moïse" after Poussin were created... a golden age that lasted until the end of the 17th century, when production established an international reputation for luxury and craftsmanship. Having survived political change, the Gobelins became part of the Mobilier National administration in 1937 and opened up to contemporary trends. Today, the institution also provides furnishings for the Republic's most prestigious venues, while ensuring the conservation and restoration of its collections. Some of the Manufacture's workshops date back to the 17th century. From the eponymous avenue, you can see the "galerie", a brick and stone building dating from 1914, whose façade features caryatids associated with eight medallions paying tribute to the various trades and stages in the art of weaving.
