Alexander Roux (1813–1886) was a French-trained ébéniste, or cabinetmaker, who emigrated to the United States in the 1830s.
The business grew quickly: by the 1850s he employed 120 craftsmen in his shop and introduced then-new industrial technologies, such as steam-powered saws.
[1] Roux produced works in the ornate Rococo Revival style influenced by eighteenth-century France.
He also worked in the Gothic, Renaissance, and later Neo-Grec styles.
