Nicolas-Denis was born on 1 October 1731 and succeeded his father in 1760. He was the most expensive binder of his time but a skilfull craftsman. He was always in demand and had to be helped by other binders, which explains the differening quality of his bindings. He adopted the à la dentelle decoration. He introduced on his covers the celebrated fer à l'oiseau (bird) motif for which he became famous but which he did not invent. Derome le jeune and his family, signed with different tickets (R. Devauchelle, La reliure, p. 139; P. Ract-Madoux, Essai de classement chronologique, p. 382-389).
