Lot Essay

Escalier de Cristal was established at the Palais Royal, nos. 162-3, by Marie-Jeanne-Rosalie Charpentier, the widow of Desarnaud, during the Restauration. The firm was acquired in 1847 by Lahoche et Boin, and by the end of the 19th Century, under the ownership of Pannier Freres (1890-1923) it expanded further, specialising in copies of Louis XVI ebenisterie.
