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, and 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 furniture in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. Although he received several medals at the various Universal Exhibitions 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".

Born in Nancy in 1828, Édouard Lièvre trained as a painter with the French academic Thomas Couture, before devoting himself to decorative art drawing. Later, Édouard Lièvre designed for the great bronzemaker Ferdinand Barbedienne, with whom he collaborated for many years. Édouard Lièvre's important clients included actress Sarah Bernhardt, courtesan Louise-Émilie Valtesse de la Bigne and Albert Vieillard, director of the Bordeaux ceramics factory. After Lièvre's death, his estate was sold at two auctions in 1887 and 1890. It is thought that the bulk of the collection was sold to George and Henri Pannier, owners of the Escalier de Cristal house, giving rise to modified versions of the artist's drawings. There are, for example, seven variants of Albert Vieillard's Cabinet japonais, one of which was sold to Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia and is now in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg.

References cited in the 1981 catalog: "A particularly close comparison is the lacquer cabinet (with two doors high) in the Forsyth Wickes collection (C. Packer, Paris Furniture, 1957, fig. 85). This is a more lavish version at Goodwood House, Sussex, which was probably donated or purchased by the 3rd Duke of Richmond, ambassador to France after 1763 (P. Verlet, French Furniture and Decoration of the 18th century, 1967, figs. 120 and 121). However, the majority of existing examples are in BVRB floral marquetry, including one from the Ford collection sold by Sotheby Parke Bernet, February 25, 1978, lot 82; another from the Lord Michelham collection sold at Sotheby & Co, Monte Carlo, May 22, 1978, lot 236, unsold (stamped); a third (stamped) from the Lord Buckland collection was sold in these rooms, May 21, 1936, lot 54; while another (stamped) from the Earls of Coventry collection was sold Sotheby & Co., June 25, 1948, lot 54. Two secretaries (both stamped) of this model from private collections were exhibited at the Exposition Louis XV, Hôtel de la Monnaie, Paris, 1974, nos. 428 and 429. The catalog of the Louis XV Exhibition suggests that these secretaires, generally dated around 1755, may have been sold by Lazare Duvaux (1703~1758), the marchand mercier. The obvious long popularity of this model (particularly given the likely date of acquisition of the Richmond secretary) is indicated by the fact that the 6th Earl of Coventry, a discerning patron of a wide range of neoclassical tastes, he bought his secretary from the famous merchant Simon Poirier in 1763 'Un secrétaire en armoire garni de bronze doré... 1000'.

IN MUSEUMS Marquetry secretary with flap. Louis XV period. Stamped B.V.R.B (Bernard Van Risenburgh) - 1763. Purchased by the Earl of Coventry, from the Merchant-Mercier Simon-Ph. Poirier, on September 9, 1763, for his castle of Croome Court. Chester Beatty collection. Maharanée de Baroda. Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. This secretary, stamped Bernard II Van Risen Burgh, is typical of the Louis XV period. It is made of marquetry and veneer of rosewood, amaranth and bois de bout with motifs of flowering branches, foliage and shrubs. The incredible craftsmanship of this piece testifies to the talent of the cabinetmaker and the prestige of the client. BVRB delivered this secretary to the 6th Earl of Coventry in 1763, via the merchant Simon-Ph. Poirier, for his Croome Court castle in England. The delicate marquetry allows the cabinetmaker to demonstrate his mastery in the ornamentation of chased and gilded bronzes that run the length of the secretary in pure rocaille style. Its silhouette is refined by the presence of a doucine on which a griotte marble top rests. B.V.R.B. is one of the greatest cabinetmakers of the Louis XV style, and his works demonstrate great beauty, a perfect balance of elegance and elegance.

The Sultana bed is an ephemeral variety of the Turkish bed dating from the Louis XVI style. It is a kind of sofa-bed with two bedside tables and an optional backrest rolled into crosses. The seat, armrests and backrest are padded and upholstered with cushions. This comfortable seat in the style of the sofa or ottoman (oval, basket-shaped sofa) was very fashionable during the reign of Louis XV in the 18th century. Ladies used the sultana in the salon as a daybed. They could also receive guests while lying down. Louis Delanois, an eminent cabinetmaker, left a legacy that testifies to his exceptional talent. Beginning his career in a workshop on rue Bourbon-Villeneuve, he quickly achieved success and established his workshop on rue des Petits-Carreaux, where he excelled not only in chair making but also in the wood trade. His prestigious clientele included personalities such as the Comte d'Artois, the Prince de Condé, the Duc de Chartres and the Comtesse du Barry. In collaboration with sculptor Joseph Nicolas Guichard and gilder Cagny, Delanois created sumptuous pieces, including a bed carved with flowers and various pieces of furniture for the Château de Versailles. Today, examples of his work can be found in prestigious museums such as the Louvre, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

Representative of the Umbertino style, his works attempt to recreate the precious chromatic effects of Renaissance furniture by employing subjects referring to Italian artistic glories.

He took part in the Italian National Exhibition in Milan in 1881, and some of his pieces were purchased by Antonio Borgogna. They are now housed in the Borgogna Museum in Vercelli, Italy.
