Catalogue Note
Henri Husson began his career as a metalworker and restorer for antique dealers. In 1909, manufacturer and founder Hébrard held an exhibition of his work in his gallery of Rue Royale, Paris. The exhibition was a success and allowed Husson to start working as a goldsmith and chiseller. Influenced by Japan, he used silver, copper and gold.
