拍品專文

Born in the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venice in 1817, Paul Sormani produced standard and fantasy furniture from a number of locations in Paris from the mid-19th century. In 1858 he expanded his business, producing articles, styled from the previous century's maître ébénistes and in 1867 established workshops at 10, rue Charlot. The business continued, after his death in 1877, under the direction of his son Paul-Charles and later moved to 134 boulevard Haussman.
