Catalogue Note
Novogorosk est une ville proche de Moscou, désormais intégrée dans la grande banlieue de la capitale russe.
Louis Ouizille, frère aîné de Charles Ouizille, Bijoutier du Roi, insculpa son poinçon en 1768. Son atelier était situé au pont Notre-Dame et il fut cautionné par Jean-François Garand. Il y resta jusque vers 1787. En 1790, il est installé au cul-de-sac Ste Marine.
