Martin-Guillaume Biennais

Address:

283 Rue St. Honore

Remarks:

Silversmith (apparently also made swords), operated between 1800 and 1843, and made First Empire orders. His mark was a monkey with a long tail.

In 2003 there was a beautifull exhebition about Biennais in the Louvre in Paris, You can still get the catalogue
