Nicolas Lupot maintained a workshop in Paris at rue Croix des Petits-Champs during the early nineteenth century, producing violins of consistent proportions (back lengths 35.5–35.9 cm) across at least the period 1805–1817 [1][2][3]. His labels identify him as 'Luthier' and document his Parisian address across multiple instruments dated within this span. A related maker, N. Lupot Fils, is documented working in Orléans at rue d'Illiers, producing larger stringed instruments (cello, 75.4 cm back length) [4], suggesting a family workshop structure, though the precise relationship between Nicolas and the Fils designation remains unclear from the catalog evidence alone.
