Biography:
Robert-Joseph Auguste worked for several goldsmiths in his youth, but was never officially apprenticed. He was excused from this guild prerequisite because he produced work for the king. His unique neoclassical style granted him many commissions from royalty and aristocracy in France and internationally. Louis XVI of France preferred Auguste’s work over any other goldsmith and gave him many commissions to produce, including his own crown for his coronation. As Auguste’s work became increasingly popular and fashionable in the late 1700’s, he gained even more prominent clients such as Madame de Pompadour, Catherine II of Russia, and the Count de Creutz.
