Lepicier veuve (widow) & Bouclier, rue de Montmorency 11, Paris, mark ("FB" with a blade of wheat and sickle) registered 11 Oct 1890 and cancelled 11 Feb 1892.
The partnership was created on 8 Oct 1890 between Ernestine Victoire Marie Vivien (b. 1859), widow of Alphonse Marie Lepicier (1853-1890) (who used the mark "AL" with the same devices 1884-1890) and Charles Claude Bouclier-Falconnet (b. 1854) and was dissolved on 1 Jan 1892. Bouclier-Falconnet continued on his own for a few years (using the mark "CB" with the same devices - a blade of wheat and sickle, from 11 Feb 1892 to 17 Oct 1894) after which he appears to have left the trade for a career in the military.
Hope this helps!
