Pierre-Antoine Bellangé
Pierre-Antoine Bellangé was a French ébéniste (cabinetmaker) working in Paris from the mid-18th century to the first quarter of the 19th century. He is best known as the official supplier of Imperial Furniture not only in France but in all of Europe during the first quarter of the 19th century. Some of the more illustrious and important historical places that were furnished by Bellangé include the Tuileries and Malmaison in Paris and Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace in England. Napoleon's own Chateau Saint-Cloud near Paris also housed a lot of Bellangé furniture, but none of this survives today as the chateau was burnt down during the Franco-Prussian War between France and Prussia in the 1860s. In more recent memory, Bellangé was given a huge publicity plug by none other than the American First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy during her commentary for CBS TV tour of the White House in 1962. In 1817, President James Monroe of the United States purchased a suite of Bellangé furniture for the White House.
