Pedro Durán, used his personal name in a line DURAN, to his death in 1938 and his four children, Carlos, Manuel, Roberto and Santiago. In 1962 they built a new factory of 15,000 m2 and opened a jewelry store in Serrano street in Madrid. In 1969 they diversified their business to auction house where they have a great success. Unfortunately at the beginning of the s. XXI are forced to close their factory of silverware. Currently they continue with their jewelry store and their auction house.
The Durán Brothers took as contrast a small tureen inside a hexagon.

Desgraciadamente a principios del s. XXI se ven obligados a cerrar su fabrica de platería. Actualmente continúan con su tienda de Joyería y su casa de Subastas.
Los Hermanos Durán adoptaron como contraste una pequeña sopera dentro de un hexágono.
