Nicolas Choconain-Delaunay fait insculpter son poinçon en 1775 après un apprentissage chez Jean Bernard Sauvage. Il est alors cautionné par Jean Baptiste Choconain-Delaunay, sans doute un parent mais surtout un marchand-mercier. Grand fabricant d'étuis, il est installé sur le Pont au Change jusque 1787 avant de déménager rue des fourreurs puis rue des ours jusqu'en 1793.
