The brothers workshop changed names throughout the 19th Century but was known as Maison Kreiger until circa 1900. By 1880, this enterprise was a well known marchands-mercier as well as a manufacturer of fine French furniture. Their reputation for producing excellent reproductions, including stylistic interpretations, resulted in their being a source for the powerful and wealthy but also to other fine furniture makers and retail establishments. Maison Kreiger employed up to 1,200 people at its height but eventually ceased operations around 1900. Height: 42 3/8" Width: 52" Depth: 23"
