Note on the Maker:
Alphonse Debain (active 1883–1911) was a renowned Parisian silversmith, heir to a family of distinguished craftsmen. In 1883, he took over the workshop of Philippe Berthier, adopting Berthier’s maker’s mark of a woodcock (French “bécasse”), which became the emblem of his own production.
Debain exhibited widely, winning a Gold Medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1889, and later served as a jury member. His works reflect the rich eclectic historicism of the Belle Époque, combining technical mastery with decorative refinement.
