Furniture stamped François DAIDE
19th century.
François Daïdé, a cabinetmaker with an established reputation, French know-how in Revel in Haute-Garonne.
The Daïdé family has been working with wood since 1768, first as a carpenter, then as a joiner making the famous “gabarrous” sideboards.
But it was François Daïdé at the end of the 19th century, followed by René, his son born in 1936, who turned the company towards excellence and the production of prestigious furniture copies in the 50s and 60s.
