L. N. NAUDIN

Born February 6, 1784, Louis-Narcisse NAUDIN was the younger brother of goldsmith François-Dominique NAUDIN (1778-1841). Around 1812, like his brother, he set up shop at number 24 place Thionville (the name of the place Dauphine between 1792 and 1814), as a silversmith specializing in wholesale tableware, i.e. all flat or mounted tableware such as dishes, plates, tureens, vegetable dishes, sugar bowls, coolers, jam makers, mustard makers and salt cellars.
