Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Alexandre Eugène Prignot (born 1822) had been the principal designer for the firm of Jackson and Graham from 1849 to 1855. Prignot was a pupil of Henri-Auguste Fourdinois (1830-1907) and Cic‚ri. This training suggests that he was familiar with the work of important contemporary French cabinet-makers, and the French tradition of spectacular exhibition pieces. Besides London, he also worked in his native Paris, the USA, Belgium, Russia and Spain. Prignot published photographic anthologies of his designs for furniture, decorations, textiles and upholstery.
