Lucien Gaillard came from a family of goldsmiths: His grandfather Amédée Alexandre Gaillard (1811-1882) founded a studio in Paris in 1840 which was continued by his son Ernest (1836-1909). Lucien was taught by his father as of 1879 and took over the running of the studio on the Rue La Boétie in 1892. He was a member of the Chambre syndicale des bijoutiers, joailliers et orfèvres and his works, which included silver-mounted ceramics, received a grand prize at the Paris world fair in 1900.
