Maison SOUBRIER: Founded in 1848, the cabinetmaking house Soubrier specialized during the second half of the 19th century in the creation of stylish furniture, characteristic of the production of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine workshops during this period. Equipped with large carpentry workshops and vast exhibition spaces, the house offers its clientele, from the upper and middle bourgeoisie, furnishings of all types drawing their shapes and ornaments from the styles of the past, mainly of the Renaissance and the 18th century. The Soubrier house continued this production of stylish furniture in the 20th century, while producing, from the 1920s, furniture responding to the aesthetics of its time and the lines of the Art Deco movement.
