Pierre-François Jumeau
(1811-1895) originally partnered with a man named Louis-Désiré Belton
(1805-1846) to form Belton &
Jumeau in 1841, by 1845 the partners dissolved the business and went
their separate ways.
In 1872 Jumeau finished builting it's own porcelain factory in Montreuil. Second son, Emile-Louis Jumeau
(1843-1910) and his wife Ernestine Ducruix began taking over the business in
1874, the transfer was completed when his
father retired in 1878.
In 1899 Jumeau became a member of the
SFBJ - Société Française de Fabrication de Bébé & Jouets until
