Joseph-Pierre-François and Jean-Arnoux Jeanselme, active 1824-1860.
The two sons of Jean-Pierre Jeanselme joined together in 1824 and their collaboration lasted until 1840. Joseph-Pierre-François, in particular, was enormously successful acting both as the Fournisseur du Mobilier de la Couronne under Louis-Philippe and Napoleon III and was also active selling through the large retailers of the period.
