Note du spécialiste

Fidelis Schey, maître in 1788.

Born in the Duchy of Baden, Fidelys Schey was one of the many immigrant craftsmen who was established in the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine and was patronized by the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne at the château de Fontainebleau. Schey worked from a shop in the rue Faubourg-Saint-Antoine in Paris with a saleroom adjacent, run by his wife. Schey worked almost exclusively with mahogany in the restrained Louis XVI 'Grecian' style, and delivered two tables a jeux in this style to Fontainebleau in 1786.
