19th Century Set of 6 Chairs from the Krieger House, Paris

We present you this beautiful set of six carved mahogany chairs crafted by the renowned La Maison Krieger in Paris. Each chair features its ‘KRIEGER PARIS’ plaque on the back of the seat. This is a rare and comfortable model with a seat height of 53 centimetres. It dates from the late 19th to early 20th century.

La Maison Krieger was established in 1826 by Antoine Krieger and his brother Nicolas, setting up shop at 17 Rue Saint-Nicolas in Paris. It began as a furniture manufacturer but soon expanded to include a prominent decoration service. During the 1920s and 1930s, their massive workshops in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine employed about a thousand people. The company initially gained recognition for its production of high-end items, including reproductions of 18th-century and Empire-style furniture, as well as creating exceptionally unique pieces, particularly for exhibitions. Their accomplishments included winning a Second-Class Medal in London in 1852.
