The shop was taken over around 1847 by Lahoche and Boin, then Lahoche and Pannier in 1857 and finally Pannier Frères from 1890 to 1923 When creating her establishment, Marie Desarnaud had the idea of combining cut crystal with gilded bronze. Towards the end of the reign of Louis-Philippe, on the initiative of the Pannier brothers, the store extended its activity to the furniture trade and began to manufacture cabinetmaking furniture around 1870 and offered for sale both creations and reproductions of 18th century furniture.
