MAKER:
Émile François Ouchard was apprenticed to Eugène Cuniot-Hury and took over the Mirecourt firm after Cuniot's death in 1910. Ouchard's son Émile Auguste began to assist him as early as 1913, and in 1923 Ouchard 'père' set up his own firm. Bows after this date are often branded, "Émile Ouchard," though he did not abandon the "Cuniot-Hury" stamp entirely. The shop did well, and by 1936 Ouchard employed 15 assistants, including his son.
