Henri-Auguste Fourdinois (1830-1907) continued the business founded in 1835 by his father, Alexandre-Georges Fourdinois (1799-1871). They were the most celebrated cabinet makers of the mid-19th century in Paris, specialising in carved furniture. They participated in the International Exhibitions and their sideboard was one of the leading French exhibits at the most famous 1851 Great Exhibition in London, at which event they received a special medal. Henri-Auguste Fourdinois continued to exhibit his masterpieces in Paris in 1855, later in London, 1862, and then at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1867.
