In 1807/8 Jean Louis Joly (1757–1825) and Solomon Chénevard (1773–1839) entered their first mark, IC below a crown in a lozenge. On 2 November 1815 a new mark was entered, ICI crowned in a lozenge, which registered a new partner, Pierre Jouvet – the mark on this box. Their address was recorded as 116 rue du Cendrier, maison Jouvet. In 1820, Joly became commanditaire (sleeping partner) and the firm was styled Chénevard, Jouvet & Cie. A new mark, CI in an oval was registered on 5 December 1820 from the same address. On Joly’s full retirement in 1824, his place was taken by Jouvet’s wife, who appears to have wound up the business following Joly’s death in 1825
