A. Nachet

1880 - 1890

View All Objects
Jean Alfred Nachet (1831-1908) was the son of Camille Sebastien Nachet (1799-1881). He was known by his middle name, Alfred. He joined his father in the business of making microscopes in the late 1850s, and the firm name became Nachet et Fils around 1862. The workshop was relocated to Rue St. Séverin, 17 in Paris at this time.

When Camille Nachet died, Alfred took over sole control of the business and renamed it A. Nachet. Around 1890, Alfred's son joined the partnership, and the firm once again became known as Nachet et Fils.
