Henri Husson's style and technique  

Henri Husson is a goldsmith and coppersmith who uses copper, brass, bronze and gold in his creations. He did not belong to any particular movement, and for a long time produced work unaffected by the influence of other artists. Towards the end of his career, his work was associated with Symbolism and Japonism.

Henri Husson's career

Henri Husson (1852-1914) was an ironmonger, goldsmith and coppersmith from the Vosges. The son of a locksmith, he learned metalworking techniques at an early age. He produced his first pieces in total anonymity. The foundryman Adrien Hébrard encouraged him to make a name for himself in the 1900s. A butterfly collector, he drew much of his inspiration from nature to create his vases, bowls, boxes and other works in carefully selected metals.

Thanks to Hébrard, with whom he collaborated on certain projects, he exhibited his work at the Salon des Artistes français from 1901. An exhibition is dedicated to him on rue Royale.

Husson created a few pieces of jewelry at the end of his career, very few of which have yet been presented at auction.
