Fraget factory - Warsaw factory operating since the 19th century, producing silver and plated goods. It was founded in 1824 by Alfons and Józef Fraget (the name Fraget is primarily associated with the latter; Alfons resigned his shareholding as early as 1827), invited from France by Tadeusz Mostowski, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Congress Kingdom. The loan obtained allowed the establishment of a small factory of copper and plated goods on Jasna Street. As early as the following year, the factory moved to an annex of the Łubieńskis' palace (Królewska Street at the corner of Marszałkowska Street), and its products were exhibited at the Exhibition of Industry in the salons of the Main Town Hall in Warsaw. The company's dynamic growth (in 1847 there were already 150 employees) made it possible to purchase a property on Elektoralna Street. After the death of Jozef and his wife Amelia, their son Julian took over the company in 1867 - under his leadership Fraget became as renowned a factory as Norblin, Buch Brothers and Henneberg. From 1884 it led the way in the production of sterling 84 silver products, cooperated with artists such as Henryk Siemiradzki, and maintained a network of author's stores not only on Polish soil - Fraget's stores operated in Constantinople and Tiflis, among others. The period of World War I saw primarily a decline in the number of employees, but not in quality; during the Second Republic Fraget was a supplier of products to numerous institutions - for example, he designed tableware for the Ministry of Agriculture. The crisis of the 1920s and 1930s resulted in cooperation with the State Mint and the Armaments Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The outbreak of World War II interrupted production - after the war, the company was nationalized, and on January 1, 1965, the Warsaw Hefra Plater Factory Sp. z. o. o., which exists to this day, was formed from the merger of the Henneberg Brothers factory and the Jozef Fraget factory.
