Craftsmanship & Detail

Gervais-Maximilien-Eugène Durand established the Maison Durand firm in 1870, specialising in 18th century style furniture of the highest quality. The workshop gained great acclaim at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle, where Durand was awarded a silver medal and praised as an ébéniste of exceptional skill and refinement. In 1890, Durand's son Frédéric-Louis joined the business, renamed Durand & Fils. The beautifully figured kingwood veneers, crisp ormolu casting, and original Breccia marble top are entirely consistent with the standards of this celebrated workshop - an exceptional opportunity to acquire a cabinet by one of France's most distinguished 19th century ébénistes.
