History |
Lubin Parfume, Paris traces its history to Pierre-Francois Lubin (1774), known as the "founder of modern perfumery" and grown to become a popular perfumer across 19th-century European courts. The House of Lubin would construct European's first modern perfume in Cannes which opened in 1873. By 1900, Paul Prot, the head of Lubin, opened up a new facility in Paris which became the largest perfume factory in France at that time. Item was excavated at the Benares. In 1991, the Ontario Heritage Foundation conducted an archaeological excavation at Benares Historic House. The excavation’s biggest finds were in areas used as refuse dumps by the Harris family. These historically significant sites around the property helped to provide insight into the life of the Harris family. Some of the areas excavated included the perimeter of the house, the wine cellar, summer kitchen, carriage shed, dairy and ice house, bake oven, potting shed and the privy (out-house). In all over 94,000 artifacts and fragments were found made out of materials such as glass, ceramics, buttons, bone and metal. Reference: https://www.lubin.eu/en/history |
