Joseph-Etienne Blerzy was apprenticed in 1750 to François-Joachim Aubert and became a master in 1768. A prolific goldsmith of often elaborately decorated boxes, his work can be found in the Wallace Collection, The Gilbert Collection and the Louvre. Blerzy died in 1806 when he is recorded as living at 3 rue du Coq-St Honoré.
