Declare as 英國皇室御用朱古力. Founded in London’s Bond Street in 1875 when Madame Charbonnel departed Paris with Mrs. Walker to open the most beautiful chocolate shop in London.

Mrs. Walker, originally a hat box and jewellery box maker, had been introduced to Madame Charbonnel. Keen to learn the art of making fine chocolates, she moved to Paris to be trained by Madame Charbonnel and soak up the atmosphere of the Parisian chocolate houses of the late nineteenth century.

Travelling back and forth, both ladies had now returned to London with a simple premise: to make delicious chocolates presented in beautiful gift boxes.

Excited by the reputation that awaited them, for King Edward VII – then the Prince of Wales, an ardent admirer of their delicious chocolates had championed their arrival.

Their first store opened on 173 New Bond Street. Filled with the finest chocolate treats, all beautifully presented to exacting standards in hand-painted boxes, crystal vases and embroidered satin bags.
