Samuel Holm died in 1894.
Goldsmith Johan Lund, was hired as manager in 1894 and remained with the company until 1898.
Clemet Berg had withdrawn from the company in 1897 and founded a workshop and retail store under his own name.
Norsk Filigransfabrikk ran with several variations of officially licenses until 1906 when the company closed down.
Merchant Albert Scharning was the agent for Filigransfabrikken from 1902 and by the time the company was dissolved in 1906 he had taken over the lion's share of the factory's technical equipment.
In 1910 Norsk Filigransfabrikk started up again with Albert Scharning as General Manager at Dronningensgate 25.
