The Parisian goldsmith house created in 1860 by the association of Georges Boin and Emile Taburet was considered one of the most prestigious until the beginning of the 20th century. Its production is typical of the end of the century with a return to the honor of the style of the 18th century, considered the pinnacle of taste, aided by contemporary technical means.
The Boin Taburet association lasted until 1900.
