Over the years we’ve had the good fortune to develop relationships with several artisans and suppliers who meet our high standards of accuracy, quality, and reliability. Most of them don’t confine themselves to La Belle Compagnie’s time and place, but all of them have been helpful and enthusiastic, and willing to work with us to make or find items that meet Compagnie specifications. The list below notes the categories of items that each of them has supplied to our members.
