Beckford first encountered Henry Auguste at his shop in Paris in 1788. It was a particularly tempestuous relationship, but this did not prevent the silversmith supplying Beckford with many works including a spectacular gold ewer, which remained with him until his death and which was recently acquired by the Metropolitan Museum, New York, (Acc. no. 2023.434).
