Wire of a merchant tapestry maker of Nancy, it will make its studies at the Council school of the Art schools of Nancy. Is 23 years old, it launches out in the trade of faded cuddly toys and opens the following year in Nancy like with Paris the House of Art of Lorraine. In 1901, it is, at the sides of Emile Galle, one of the founders of the School of Nancy.
One owes him many hangings, curtains, doors, tapestries, woodworks, carried out in various materials (cotton, wool, silk, flax, velvet,…). Its struck and corrugated velvets were in vogue at the beginning of the century but this success was of short duration. Its bankruptcy in 1903 put a term at its creative activities. Thereafter, it was interested only in the trade of antiquities.
