Charles Hunsinger (1823-1893) was one of the great cabinetmakers of the second half of the 19th century, along with Fourdinois, Beurdeley and Wassmus, whose work is linked to the taste for historicism that characterized the period, such as the reconstruction of the Château de Chantilly by the Duc d'Aumale. Specializing in wood and ivory marquetry, Hunsinger is listed as "fabricant de meubles de luxe et de fantaisie" (Almanach du commerce, 1859). From late 1872 to 1883, he joined forces with Wagner and won a silver medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle for "a marquetry library".

A center table by Wassmus Frères, stamped, mid-19th century HEIGHT 76.50 - WIDTH 138 - PROF. 70 CM - H. 30,1 - W. 54,3 - D. 27,6 IN. Two brothers, Jean-Henri-Chrétien and Jean Henri-Christophe, originally from Hanover, settled in Paris around 1816 and founded the Wassmus furniture factory. In 1840, they were described in the Almanachs du Commerce as manufacturers of "antique and modern furniture in all styles". By 1853, they were producing high-quality furniture using a wide range of techniques, including floral marquetry and Boulle work. The company reached its apogee during the reign of Napoleon III, under the direction of Henri Léonard Wassmus. Son of Jean-Henri-Chrétien, he trained in the family workshop and became the company's most skilled cabinetmaker, acquiring a reputation that culminated in his appointment as cabinetmaker to the crown. As a supplier to the Imperial Garde-Meuble under the Second Empire, Wassmus specialized in prestigious inlaid furniture. In the 1850s, the company reached its peak, supplying numerous pieces to the 1855 Universal Exhibition.
