Henry Bertrand was a French silk weaver of the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from Villeurbanne near Lyon. He founded the well known silk company Henry Bertrand. The original collections can be seen in museums around the world including the Silk Museum in Lyon and the Cleveland Museum of Art. With the onslaught of man-made fabrics the original company declined until the 1960s when it sold its French mills.
