The firm of Grohé was established in the mid-1820s in Paris by Guillaume and Jean-Michel Grohé. The brothers exhibited at the major exhibitions throughout the 19th century and supplied furniture to the French Royal households, as well as to Queen Victoria. Following Guillaume's retirement in 1861, Jean-Michel, the younger brother, managed the atelier until 1884, when it ceased trading.
