During the reign of Napoleon III, Ternisien collaborated with Dantant, who was both a cabinet maker and a leading tapestry designer.
In 1856, Ternisien and Dantant produced the furniture for the Imperial train based on plans by Viollet-le-Duc.
In 1874, the Count of Paris, Philippe d'Orléans, commissioned Viollet-le-Duc to restore the Château d'Eù; Viollet-le-Duc in turn hired Ternisien and Dantant to supply the furniture for the Château according to his own detailed drawings.
Ternisien completed the rooms in Rio rosewood, highlighted by a deep carving for the gilt room, the billiard room and the prince's study, as well as the execution of a large gun cabinet and a stoup for the chapel in 1877.
The majority of this furniture is now in the Louis Philippe Museum at the Château d'Eù
