拍品专文

Between 1870 and 1920, Gervais-Maximilien-Eugène Durand (d. circa 1920) is recorded as having worked at 12 rue de la Cerisaie and 62 rue Saint-Antoine, the old hôtel de Sully. Specialising in the manufacture of 18th Century furniture models, the atelier was awarded a silver medal at the 1889 Paris Exposition universelle.
