My $0.02: Frames that could be called the highest quality haven't peaked or ceased being made, and have been made since at least the 1940's. I'd say that the nations of origin started as France and Britain, then Italian quality rose but never quite to Franco/British levels, and then American
builders starting ca. 1970.
