BOIN-TABURET:
It was in 1860 that the goldsmith Georges Boin joined forces with the jeweller Émile Taburet; they won a bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition for a toilet service in the style of Pierre Germain and were awarded a gold medal at the Paris 1889 Exposition Universelle. As well as producing exceptional silver and metal work the company retailed small items of furniture and decorative objects of the very highest order.

Emile Taburet and Georges Boin worked together until 1900 when Georges Boin is associated with the goldsmith Henry, under the name "Boin and Henry Goldsmiths". In 1906, at the International Exhibition of Milan, the house appears under the name "Henry Brothers and Co.", 3 rue Pasquier in Paris.
In 1936, the house became "Henry et Fils". This fun Chinoiserie clock is stamped “Boin Taburet” and “Henry et Fils” so can be precisely dated to this period.
The clock is in working order, with a full winding charge holding over a week.
