OHNEBERG Martin Martin Ohneberg (Born around 1738) - Cabinetmaker. Paris. Master on July 7, 1773. He operated a workshop rue Traversière Saint-Antoine and later Cour de la Juiverie. Ohneberg worked for a host of fashionable merchants. He composed his works with care, in a light and sober taste. Martin Ohneberg was a cabinetmaker with a delicate and flexible talent, and also an excellent marquetry artist who often used rosewood veneer in sheets of very good quality. He made chests of drawers, corner cupboards and above all drop-leaf secretaries, of which he produced an infinite variety. Ohneberg's production is in the Transition and Louis XVI style. Étienne Garin, rue de Charenton, was one of the founders from whom he asked for their bronze ornaments.
