The Maison A L'Escalier de Cristal was established in 1802 by Mme. Désarnaud in the Palais-Royal, and exhibited to great acclaim at the 1819 Exposition des produits de l'industrie. The shop produced furniture, clocks, vases and other objets d'art for ruling families in Europe, and was appointed Fournisseur breveté du Roi in 1819, as well as to the Duc de Berry and the Garde-meuble de la Couronne. L'Escalier de Cristal continued its success by collaborating with designers such as Gallé and Christofle, until its demise in 1923.
