A native of Steinbach, Germany, Diehl (d.1885) settled in Paris in 1840 and established a large atelier at 39, rue Saint-Sebastien, where, by 1870, he employed more than 600 craftsmen. Diehl manufactured all kinds of coffrets as well as small furnishings and meubles de mariage. He participated in all the major International exhibitions during the middle of the 19th century commencing with the Great Exhibition in 1851.
