A maker in Mirecourt. On the death of J. Nicolas, jun., in 1864, he succeeded to his business, with all the materials, &c., and so it happens that new instruments, not made by Nicolas, but bearing his stamp, are still to be met with. Without being of great commercial value they are well made and carefully finished, but the varnish is rather harsh. Awards: "Mention" in 1839 and 1844 ; a medal of the first class at the Paris Exhibition, 1855, and at the London Exhibition, 1862, for the cheapness and good quality of his instruments. In 1844 he was producing 600 instruments a year, selling them from 5 to 150 francs.
