Biography

Career
Emile BOULANGEOT completed his apprenticeship under Emile LAURENT in MIRECOURT.
In 1893, he joined Gustave BERNARDEL's workshop in Paris.
BOULANGEOT stayed with CARESSA & FRANCAIS when they succeeded Gustave BERNARDEL in 1901.
In 1909, he left Paris to joined Paul BLANCHARD's workshop in Lyon.
After the death of Paul BLANCHARD in 1912, BOULANGEOT took over his workshop and became the official violin maker of Lyon’s Music Conservatory.
BOULANGEOT retired in 1928.

Works
Emile BOULANGEOT produced approximately 175 violins, 7 violas, and 28 cellos made after his personal model, and coated with a rich orange or orange-red varnish.

Alongside this personal production, Émile BOULANGEOT continued to market the range of LUGDUNUM instruments created by Paul BLANCHARD. It is interesting to note that this production, by certain elements of style as well as by the quality of the varnish, seems to us to have been produced in its own workshop, as well as by the Deblaye workshops (4655), rather than  by LABERTE workshop.(1)

Collaborators and Successors
Georges CONÉ took over BOULANGEOT's workshop in 1928.
