Catalogue Note
Augustin-André Héguin devint maître orfèvre le 16 avril 1785, sponsorisé par Jean-Joseph Barrière. Il commença par réaliser essentiellement des tabatières simples et émaillées, ainsi que de la bijouterie, et était un des fournisseurs de Grancher au Petit Dunkerque, gage de qualité. Il continua de travailler après la Révolution et insculpa un nouveau poinçon en 1804/1805 pour ‘le gros et le petit bijou’, sis au 11 rue de la Monnaie, puis déménagea au 27 place Thionville (auparavant place Dauphine) en 1811.
Augustin-André Héguin became master, sponsored by Jean-Joseph Barrière, on 16 April 1785. At this time he was making plain and enamelled snuff boxes and bijouterie, being one of several suppliers to Grancher at the Petit Dunkerque, a sure sign of good quality. He continued to work after the Revolution, entering a new mark in 1804/5 for ‘le gros et le petit bijou’ from 11 rue de la Monnaie and moving to 27 place Thionville (formerly place Dauphine) in 1811.
