Paul Sormani (1817-1877) was one of the most important Parisian cabinetmakers of the second half of the 19th century. He began his business at 7, cimetière Saint-Nicolas, before moving to 114, rue du Temple in 1847. Sormani first exhibited his work at the Paris Exhibition of 1849, where he was awarded a bronze medal, then at the International Exhibition of 1855, where he was awarded a first-class medal. He travelled to London in 1862, where he won another award and a special mention for his small bronze fantasy furniture and decorative objects at the 1867 Paris Exhibition. By 1867, when he opened at 10 rue Charlot, he was at the height of his success. He gradually moved away from small-scale works (kits and fancy furniture) to create Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture, for which he was responsible. Although he received several medals at the various World's Fairs he took part in (1849, 1855, 1862), it was at the 1867 Exposition that his work was described in the following terms: "his entire production reveals a first-rate quality of execution".
