*Alphonse Giroux et Cie, a famous Parisian curiosity and tabletterie store located at 7 rue du Coq-Saint-Honoré, whose activity spanned the period from the Consulate to the end of the Second Empire. The company was founded by François-Simon-Alphonse, then managed from 1838 by his two sons Alphonse-Gustave (1810-1886) and André (1801-1879). A. Giroux moved his store to 43, boulevard des Capucines in 1857, where he remained until 1867, when he sold his house and sign to his cousin Ferdinand Duvinage et Harinkouck.
