Jérôme Thibouville-Lamy Workshop

Jérôme Thibouville-Lamy was a Mirecourt-based workshop that merged the talents of several french ateliers in the 19th and 20th centuries. Eager to enter the market for stringed instruments, Louis Emile Jérôme Thibouville partnered with Charles Buthod and Charles-Claude Husson in 1857 to establish an international platform for the sale of fine French instruments. Buthod and Husson were both established ateliers from Mirecourt, while Thibouville came from a family that crafted mainly woodwind and brass instruments. The company became notorious for its root in Parisian tradition and excellence in craftsmanship.

Hugues-Emile Blondelet, a violin maker from Mirecourt, joined the firm when he was just 15. In 1908 he was appointed co-director of the JTL.
