Emile Taburet, jeweler, exhibited in 1880 at the UCAD exhibition, "metal". His hallmark was crossed out in 1881. He joined his son-in-law, Georges Boin antiquaire, under the name "Boin-Taburet" around 1880. Together, they exhibited at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889. In 1900, Georges Boin is associated with the goldsmith Henry, under the name "Boin et Henry silversmiths". In 1906, at the Milan International Exhibition, the house appeared under the name "Henry Frères et Cie", 3 rue Pasquier in Paris. In 1936, the house became "Henry et Fils".
