Maison Krieger was created in 1826 by Antoine Krieger and his brother Nicolas in premises at 17, rue Saint-Nicolas in Paris.
She initially distinguished herself in the cabinetmaking business, with a production of luxury furniture, inspired by the creations of masters of previous centuries and of an unprecedented quality of manufacture, before developing a department dedicated to decoration.
Her original creations, notably for the Universal Exhibitions, allowed her to win awards, notably a 2nd class Medal in London in 1852.
Her successors continued to use her brand after her death, her workshop becoming the company "Antoine Krieger et Companie".
