The Maison Alphonse Giroux, known as "the merchant of princes", was an important Parisian manufacturer of luxury furniture and accessories, whose products were intended for an aristocratic and bourgeois clientele.

The company was founded in 1799 at number 7, rue du Coq Saint-Honoré, then boulevard des Capucines, by François-Simon-Alphonse Giroux under the name "A. GIROUX in Paris". It was later taken over by the Giroux children and remained active under the name "Alphonse Giroux et Cie" until 1867, when Ferdinand Duvinage took over the management.
