Maison Grimard

G. Grimard is recorded to have produced fine ‘Meubles d’Art’, from premises at 5 rue de Charonne, Paris, in the second half of the nineteenth century.

Grimard exhibited at many of the major international exhibitions of the period with great distinction. His work is comparatively rare but always of the very highest quality. Much of his recorded work is in the Louis XVI and neo-classical style often incorporating vernis martin panels.
