Georges Boin active from 1868 to 1881 before joining forces with Taburet was awarded at numerous Universal Exhibitions, starting in 1878 in Paris. He then shone at the 1889 exhibition, for his work inspired by the Louis XIV and Louis XV styles, himself being a fervent collector of 18th century goldwork. He had among other things in his collection the Ewer and its basin with the Braganza Coat of Arms made by François Thomas Germain. They also received a Grand Prix at the 1900 Universal Exhibition. Do not take into account the reflections in the photos.
