Pierre Harache (1630-1700) was a French-born Huguenot goldsmith who arrived in England in 1681. He became the first Huguenot craftsman to be admitted to the Goldsmith’s Company when he was granted the Livery in 1687.
His son, also Pierre Harache (1653-fl.1698-1717), was also a goldsmith; their work sometimes confused as their registered marks were very similar.
