Son of Honore. Worked at Mirecourt, 1850 to the year of death, 1890. Succeeded to the business of Nicolas fils, 1864; and his father’s, 1879. Retained the well-known sign associated with the Nicolas family “A la Ville de Crémone. Ateliers de lutherie fondès en 1780”.
Slightly less meritorious workmanship than that of parent. Rather splendid modelling after the Italian masters. Backs made from the choicest old seasoned Transylvanian maple - finest Swiss pine for tables, guaranteed to be of the most particularly resonant kind. Oil varnish of various shades, specially prepared from own formula. The usual decently responsive but new quality of tone of all mass-production instruments.
