Paul Sormani was born in Venice in 1817.
He established a cabinet making workshop in 1847 in Paris.
His speciality soon became the reproduction of 18th century furniture, particularly in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles.
At the World's Fairs of 1855, 1862 and 1867, he received a medal and increased his clientele.
He sold furniture to the Empress Eugenie.
Paul Sormani settles at 10 rue Charlot from 1867 where he is very successful until his death in 1877.
His wife and son Paul-Charles continue to manufacture furniture under the name "Veuve Sormani & fils".
The Sormani company is again rewarded at the Universal Exhibition of 1878 and 1892, as well as at the 1883 Colonial Exhibition.
In 1914, the Sormani company joins forces with the Thiebaud frères company to become Thiebaud-Sormani. It exhibited under this name in 1925 at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts.
In 1934, the death of Paul-Charles Sormani led to the firm's definitive closure.

The Sormani house is known to have made furniture but also tableware such as jewelry boxes and liquor cellars.

Delivery possible.
