The firm is Gand & Bernardel, and its name changed to Caressa & Français after the death of the previous owners. These seem like hand-engraved labels (metal plate prints), but there should be some similar typefaces, and it's apparently not Bodoni/Didot. Unfortunately I could not post more images. Does anyone know the name of the typefaces similar to this? Any answers will be greatly appreciated!

I agree that these are hand lettered, not type. My favorite font family based on engraved lettering is MVB Sirenne, but that's in an oldstyle genre. For something didone, see Surveyor. You just also like Berthe
