The founder of the Dallery-dynasty is Charles Dallery (1702-1779). His nephew and pupil Pierre Dallery (1735- 1812) became the associate of François-Henri Clicquot during 1767-1778. He participated in the reconstruction of the organ of Saint Laurent and the construction of the organs of St-Nicolas- des-Champs (1773), Saint-Merry (1778) and Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois (1771), before creating his own company. He rebuilt the organs of Saint-Marcel, Saint-Denis-de-la-Chapelle, Saint-Roch and Saint-Louis-des-Jésuites and Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle. After the Revolution, organ building restarted painfully and his activities consisted mainly of moving, raising and reinstalling organs in the Paris region: Saint- Germain-l'Auxerrois, Saint-Eustache, Notre-Dame de Bonne-Nouvelle, Saint- Merry, Saint-Thomas d'Aquin, Saint-Roch, Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas and Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis. Works in 1807 at Saint-Séverin are considered to be the last of Pierre Dallery's career. His son Pierre-François (1764-1833, photo) became one of François-Henri’s harmonists and continued the activities of François-Henri’s son Claude François Clicquot (1762-1800) after his death, as well as those of his father, who retired in 1807. He mainly overhauled organs: Notre-Dame, Saint- Eustache, Saint-Roch, N.D. de Bonne-Nouvelle, Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin, Saint- Jacques-du-Haut-Pas, Saint-Médard, Saint-Merry, Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs, Saint-Etienne-du-Mont, Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet, Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis, Saint-Gervais, Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, Saint-Roch, Saint-Séverin, Saint- Louis-en-l'île. In 1809, he restored the organ of the Saint Phiilppe du Roule. It was in this church that he married in 1832. His son Louis-Paul Dallery (1797-1875) carried out numerous restorations and built in 1805 a new organ for Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis (only the buffet still exists, modified) and in 1825 a new organ for the Chapel of the Sorbonne, which is one of the few new organs in that era in Paris, that has been conserved in its original state (although it is silent for years). Interventions in Paris: Notre-Dame, Notre-Dame de Bonne Nouvelle, Saint- Germain-l'Auxerrois, Saint-Gervais, Saint-Merry, Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs, Saint-Roch, Saint-Séverin, Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin, Saint-Philippe-du-Roule and Saint-Etienne-du-Mont. His last work was the restoration of the organ of Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin (1842-1846). Louis-Paul Dallery was the last representative of the classical French organ style and could not keep up with the innovations as introduced by Cavaillé-Coll. More information on Dallery…
