Maker Background

Born and deceased in Paris, this French violin maker began his journey in lutherie at the age of 17 as an apprentice in the workshop of Sébastien Vuillaume. He later worked for the respected maker Miremont from 1873 to 1880. Until establishing his own workshop in 1882, he collaborated with several violin-making houses across Paris.

Throughout his career, he changed workshop addresses five times over thirteen years before settling permanently at 19, rue Navarin. His work reflects a deep appreciation for the Italian tradition—he produced meticulous copies of the great Italian masters while also developing his own personal model. His instruments are known for their finely selected tonewoods and a beautiful oil-based red varnish.

In his later years, he retired to Villemomble, in the Seine department. Some of his instruments and repair labels are marked with ink-stamped signatures or blue ink inscriptions, possibly machine-written.
