From 1855 worked in Troyes with his son Louis Auguste, below. Prolific output, using pernambuco, ironwood, snakewood, and other coarser imported hardwoods. Silver or gold mounted, sometimes open frogs, ivory frogs with rear face double fluted, with deeply incised central groove. Branded: ‘GAULARD. M’, later ‘GAULARD’ [Millant/Raffin]
