The Belgian luxury goods company was originally founded in Liège in 1865 by Auguste Lebeau. The core of its activities was the manufacture of hunting weapons and revolvers. After his death in 1896, the Frenchman Ferdinand Courally took over the company. He quickly understood that not only technology and quality alone, but also the appropriate presence was crucial for success. The company focused on the production of high-quality shotguns for aristocrats, including the Russian Tsar Nicholas II. Following the example of the London shotgun makers, Lebeau-Courally endeavored to become a purveyor to the court, which it also achieved in Russia, Italy and Spain. The success of these years was significantly affected by the impact of the two world wars and the change in the shotgun market. Today, in turn, Lebeau-Courally offers a range of luxury goods. In addition to shotguns or watches in the luxury segment, there is also a range of fashion accessories.
