The company was founded by Felix and Emile Verdier in May 1850 when Emile arrived in the San Francisco Harbor on a chartered ship, the Ville de Paris (City of Paris), loaded with silks, laces, fine wines, champagne, and Cognac. Verdier brothers had previously owned a silk-stocking manufacturer in Nîmes and Paris in France. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No trades. Price is firm and final.
