Henri Vever wrote of Rault that he was "one of the greatest chasers of our time, the greatest perhaps, although he is known only to a limited public [...] considered by his colleagues as the master of them all".
Louis Rault joined Boucheron's workshop as a chaser in 1868, and remained there until 1870.
