Claude and his son Louis discovered that briar had vastly superior qualities and from 1848 made pipes only in this wood. In 1879 Francois’s son Henri, who was born in 1850, moved to '''London''' with a small bag of tools, but a great deal of experience. Henri set up a small factory in '''Seven Dials''' which is today known as '''Cambridge Circus'''. He was one of the prime movers in the establishment of the briar pipe trade in London and is credited with being the author of the appellation '''“London Made”'''.

terre, buis ou en hêtre) en 1825 dans la petite ville monastique de Saint-Claude dans
l’Est de la France. Claude et son fils Louis découvrirent que la bruyère avait des
caractéristiques nettement supérieures, et à partir de 1848 n’utilisèrent plus que ce
bois pour faire leurs pipes. En 1879 le fils de Louis, Henri, né en 1850, se rendit à
Londres avec un petit sac d’outils mais une vaste expérience. Henri mit sur pied une
petite usine à Seven Dials, actuellement Cambridge Circus. Il fut l’un des premiers
installés à Londres à se lancer dans le commerce des pipes de bruyère et on lui
attribue la paternité de l’inscription '''London Made'''.


He was helped at first by some of his brothers and around 1891 was joined by his two nephews, Louis and Charles Chapuis. Louis took the name of his adoptive parents. By 1895 the business had outgrown the Seven Sisters site and a new factory was built in '''Newcastle Place''', '''Clerkenwell'''. By 1905 markets were being sought in America and the extra business required a new factory to be built in 1913 at 72 Rosebury Avenue.
