Edouard Husson was recorded working in Paris during the early part of the 20^th century. His refined talents as a goldsmith also included work as a chaser, engraver and enameller. He often embellished his work with extraordinary miniaturized plaques of enamel painted with figures en grisailles. His work was favored by Tiffany & Co. as well as Boucheron. He was listed at two addresses in Paris, 42 rue Sainte Anne and later on at 29 rue du 4 Septembre.
