Auguste, Henry
French silversmith, 1759-1816
Henry apparently took over his father's silver workshops ca. 1785 and continued to make elaborate dinner services. Notable pieces include a dinner service acquired by George III in 1787 and work done in a full-blown Empire style such as the ewer and swan-handled basin used at Napoleon's coronation. Despite Imperial patronage he went bankrupt in 1809.
