Notes
- Vever, 432. Vever mentions the Aucoc family throughout his book. Of particular interest, perhaps, is the fact that the Aucocs were “appointed to the king”, in particular, King Louis Phillipe, and were frequently patronized by other royalty. Here are other details from Vever: “J.-B. Casimir Aucoc aîné specialized in nécessaires and had succeeded Marie in 1821. In 1835, he established himself in the Rue de la Paix and added goldsmith’s work to his repertoire. He was succeeded by Louis Aucoc aîné [the father of young Louis] in 1854, who soon expanded into artistic and gemstone jewelry”↵
