Catalogue Note

The firm of Victor Raulin was first established by Victor’s father with premises at 93, Rue de Turenne where he was associated with the furniture and works of art restorer Meyer. Both Raulin père and Meyer exhibited at the 1867 Exposition Universelle, presenting high quality lacquer furniture. Victor took over his father’s business in 1878 and moved to new premises in 1882 at 110, rue de Vielle du Temple and later at 209, Boulevard St- Germain, where he remained until circa 1925. Victor Raulin, like his fellow cabinetmaker and marchand-mercier Jansen and Krieger, was an active client of François Linke.
