Footnotes

The fine merchants store A l'Escalier de Cristal were established circa 1820 by Mrs Veuve Desarnaud at the Palais Royal in Paris. The firm was acquired in 1847 by Lahoche and by the mid-19th century was owned by Pannier. At that time the business expanded in manufacturing furniture, specialising in 18th century revival and Japanese styles.
