Born at Mirecourt, 1844. Pupil of Jules Galliard and Vuillaume. Worked at Lille and Douai. Returned to Mirecourt 1871 – moved to Paris 1880 – lived at Brussels – had a brief sojourn in America – worked at Reims – came to London – worked for Harry Dykes at Leeds.

Exceptionally gifted with rapid dexterity – produced about 2,000 specimens, each of exemplary neatness etc. Particularly expert copyist of the Italians from Maggini to Guarnerius; also built many replicas of the Vuillaume style, made from Swiss chalet pine, 200 years old. Especially successful in imparting a non-new tonal quality. Various shades of varnish – brilliant red perhaps favoured.
