Very sadly Emile left his wife Augustine at the end of the 1920's during the great stock market crash, he returned to his home in France. Augustine and her son, Louis, took over the business in 1933, they renamed it Louis Lejeune Ltd. Louis and his mother ran the company from 132 Great Portland Street, London until Louis' death at the end of the late 1960's. The business continued as a going concern in London until the late 1970's when it was purchased by the known sculptor Sir David Hughes, he relocated the business from London to Wilburton in Cambridgeshire, where it still is today. Sir David's son Timothy has been in charge of the company since the late 1990s. Provenance from a fine high end southern classic car automobilia exhibition label underneath.
