Claude-Augustin Miremont (1827 – 1887) is a French violin maker in Mirecourt who was considered one of the greatest violin makers in the second part of the 19th century. He is the son of Sebastien Miremont who is also a violin maker with whom he served his apprenticeship. After his apprenticeship under his father in Mirecourt, he joined Claude Nicolas in his “Collin’s” workshop.
Claude Augustin Mirecourt came to Paris in 1844 and joined Joseph René Lafleur's workshop, where he was likely trained as a bow maker. Miremont then joined Sebastien Auguste Bernadel in his workshop where he remained until 1852 before leaving France for New York. Miremont returned to France in 1861 to establish his own workshop, first at N° 6 Faubourg Poissonière (his workshop was still located there in1867 according to Malou HAINE), then farther down the same street at number 20. Miremont retired in 1884 in Belleville then he went to Pontorson (Manche) where he stayed until his death in 1887.
