<<<< GIROUX, Alphonse. Famous furniture and cabinetmaking store located at 7, rue du coq Saint-Honoré, in Paris. The activity of this store created by François-Simon-Alphonse GIROUX radiated from the consulate at the end of the second empire, with the father then the son. The cabinetmaking workshop began in 1799, the father died in 1849 and left his two sons to run the workshops and the store. Their specialty was the manufacturer of very high-end small furniture for the bourgeoisie and the nobility. It was in his shop that Charles X and Louis XVIII chose New Year's gifts for young princes: Princess Louise and the Duke of Bordeaux. Alphonse GIROUX won numerous national and international prizes, including a silver medal at the 1834 exhibition, and in the second half of the 19th century became a real reference for boxes, various and varied caskets and small furniture. approval or writing. >>>>
