19DEROUX (Sébastien-Auguste) — Paris 1848-1919. Born at Mirecourt where he served his apprenticeship with his father Georges Deroux. He worked a short time for Chrétien-Silvestre of Lyons and joined Miremont in 1873. When the latter retired in 1884, he established himself at 15, rue Geoffroy-Marie, where he practised until his death. More than 250 instruments after the Stradivarius and Guarnerius models were made by him. He used an excellent quality red or brown oil varnish. This maker, whose work is much appreciated, has left us with the reputation of a repairer of great skill. Nos 477-478.
