Catalogue Note
Selon les recherches de David Allan publiées dans son ouvrage Orfèvrerie française orientaliste du 19ème siècle, la maison Mayer fut fondée en 1839. En 1844, Maurice Mayer expose pour la première fois à l'Exposition des Produits de l'Industrie Française où il recoit une médaille d'argent. Le 11 juillet 1853, il est nommé fournisseur de l'empereur Napoléon III. En 1855, il présente à l'Exposition Universelle de Paris un service de thé complet, genre indien.
