About the Item

A Late 19th Century Gilt Bronze Mounted Louis XVI Style Vitrine By Paul Sormani Paul Sormani Bronze gallery above a centered glass door, flanked by glass panels, four bronze mounted tapering legs joined by a bronze mounted shelf. Signed P. Sormani 10 Rue Charlot Paris to the lock. Paul Sormani (1817-1877) was one of the most important Parisian cabinet makers of the second half of the 19th century. He commenced business at 7 Cimetière Saint-Nicolas and in 1847 moved to 114 rue du Temple. By 1867, when he opened at 10 rue Charlot, he was at the pinnacle of his sucess. A contemporary source describes his work in glowing terms: “toute sa production révèle une qualité d’exécution de tout premier ordre”. Sormani first showed his work at the 1849 Paris Exhibition, where he was awarded a bronze medal, and then again at the International Exhibition in 1855, when he obtained a first class medal. He travelled to London in 1862, where he gained another award. He was also given special mention of his petits meubles de fantaisie et objet décoratifs en bronze at the Paris Exhibtion of 1867.
