Catalogue Note
Paul-Charles Sormani (1848-1934) originally worked with his father, the celebrated cabinet-maker Paul and subsequently with his mother Ursule-Marie-Philippine, until 1878. In 1914, he formed a partnership with Thiebault Frères and established their shop at 134, boulevard Haussmann. The firm remained at this address until it closed in 1934.
