Richtenberger served as James Mayer de Rothschild's agent in Brussels from 1832 on,[1] in the early years after the foundation of the Kingdom of Belgium. He was joined by Samuel Lambert, who later became his son-in-law. As of 1843, the name of the firm was “Lambert–Richtenberger, agent Rothschild”.[2] After Richtenberger's death in 1853, Lambert took over the firm and combined it with his father's company, also an agency of Rothschild, in Antwerp to form the Banque Lambert.[3]
