History of Maison Boin Taburet
Georges Boin was born in 1849 into a family of antique dealers and jewelers. His father and his grandfather, Jacques Boin, had managed in 1804 “the Crystal Staircase”, they knew how to make themselves known for their crystal objects mounted on bronze. Georges Boin began his career as a goldsmith and dealer in antique objects, then joined forces with the jeweler Emile Taburet in 1860.
The house, founded under their two names, distinguished itself in jewelry and showcase objects. She exhibited for the first time at the Universal Exhibition of 1878 and obtained a bronze medal for a toilet service inspired by Pierre Germain.
Their objects attest to the popularity of the Rococo style in France in the 19th century, which Boin-Taburet was able to revive but also develop by offering a multitude of combinations. Thus in 1893, the house published, like Germain, a collection of his works.
Emile Taburet and Georges Boin worked together until 1900, when Boin joined forces with the goldsmith Henry, under the company name “Boin et Henry orfèvres”. In 1906, at the International Exhibition in Milan, the house appeared under the name “Henry Frères et Cie”, 3 rue Pasquier in Paris. In 1936, the house became “Henry et Fils”.
Regarding the 1878 exhibition, M. Falize, rapporteur, published an article on goldsmith's work in the Gazette des beaux-arts :
“It is perhaps M. Boin-Taburet who has more than any other goldsmith. contributed to this return to Louis XV. I am not making an accusation; on the contrary, I note that with a very personal taste and real tact he understood, guessed, felt what his customers wanted; he hastened to offer her what she was going to ask of him. Boin-Taburet obtained a gold medal, which the government perhaps judged insufficient to recognize the real merit of a silversmith of remarkable talent, since he has just conferred on him the Knight's Cross of the Legion of honor.
