Specialist note

Born in Herdon, Germany in 1849, Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener relocated to Paris to establish a workshop at 12, rue de la Roquette and is recorded as working from that address between 1880 and 1895. He manufactured furnishings of the highest quality, replicating forms from the Garde-Meuble National of France. Zwiener was fêted with a gold medal at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle for his decorations in the Louis XV style.
