About :
Paul Sormani was born in Venice in 1817. He established a cabinetmaking workshop in Paris in 1847. His specialty soon became the reproduction of 18th-century furniture, particularly in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. At the 1855, 1862 and 1867 World's Fairs, he won a medal and increased his clientele. He sold furniture to Empress Eugenie. Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, made the company a success by decorating her palaces with Paul Sormani's creations. Paul Sormani moved to 10 rue Charlot in 1867, where he enjoyed great success until his death in 1877, when his wife and son Paul-Charles continued the business under the name "Veuve Sormani & fils". Sormani received further awards at the 1878 and 1892 World Fairs, as well as at the 1883 Colonial Exhibition. In 1914, Sormani joined forces with Thiebaud frères to become Thiebaud-Sormani. It exhibited under this name in 1925 at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes. In 1934, the death of Paul-Charles Sormani forced the company to close for good. Sormani is known for its furniture, but also for its tableware, such as jewelry boxes and liquor cellars (s.mobilier et ébéniste du XIXème).
