He became self-employed in 1878 and continued to work until 1925. He took part in the Paris World's Fairs of 1878 and 1889, where he won silver medals. Located at 110 rue Vieille du Temple, then at 209 Bd St Germain. Raulin's bronze frames, such as our pair of cassolettes, are of the highest quality.
