Artiste d'origine alsacienne, Charles Spindler poursuivit de façon parallèle l'activité de peintre et d'ébéniste. Il développe sa connaissance de la marqueterie qu'il applique à tous ces meubles à partir de 1897, qu'il traite de façon picturale. La forme de ses meubles est d'inspiration plutôt Jugendstil, à la différence des créations de ses confrères de l'Est de la France. Son talent est récompensé lors de l'Exposition universelle de Paris en 1900, puis lors de la Foire Internationale de Saint Louis en 1904.
Born in the east of France, Charles Spindler was trained as a painter, but, after discovering the technique of marquetry in 1897, he began to apply his knowledge to his furniture, creating works with a pictorial quality which were inspired by the forms of Jugendstil Art-Nouveau. His talent was rewarded at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1900 and at the 1904 World's Fair in Saint Louis (USA).
