Auguste Cabaret was a silversmith specialized in liturgical objects, active in Paris from the late 19th to the early 20th century. He registered his maker’s mark on January 26, 1895, which remained active until August 11, 1924, establishing his documented working period. His workshop operated within the "Société Catholique" at 8 rue du Vieux Colombier, a house of religious goldsmiths founded in 1860, which supplied the Church with high-quality sacred objects.
Among Cabaret’s documented works are several chalices, ciboria, and monstrances preserved in French parishes, including a ciborium dated 1902 in Enghien-les-Bains and a chalice with paten in Montredon. These demonstrate the exquisite craftsmanship of his atelier. The Neo-Gothic influence is clearly seen in many of his creations, characterized by detailed design, ornamental symmetry, and frequent use of engraved leaves, stars, and traditional liturgical symbols.
Auguste Cabaret's work represents the best of French religious silverwork of the period, and today is highly valued by private collectors, religious institutions, and museums of sacred art. The quality, documentation, and functionality of his pieces make them true devotional treasures and testimonies of a time of deep faith and artisanal splendour.
