Fidelys Schey, maître in 1777.

Fidelys Schey was established in the rue Faubourg-Saint-Antoine with a sale room adjacent, which was run by his wife. Patronised by the Garde-Meuble, to whom he supplied two tables à jeux for the château de Fontainebleau, Schey worked almost exclusively with mahogany in the restrained Louis XVI 'Grecian' style.

A smaller bureau plat supplied by Schey for Fontainebleau was sold by Lord Elphinstone at Christie's London, 9 June 1994, lot 55.
