Eugène Basset, born in 1860, was a Parisian jeweler active from the late 19th to the early 20th century. He established his workshop in Paris in 1893 and later partnered with Moreau to form Basset & Moreau, active from 1900 to 1911. The firm produced high-quality diamond and platinum jewels and is known to have supplied important Parisian houses, including Boucheron.
