Created in 1804 by Marie Desarnaud, the Escalier de Cristal is a house located in the Royal Palace. It was taken over by Lahoche and Boin in 1847, then by Lahoche and Pannier in 1857 and finally by Pannier Frères from 1890 to 1923.
When creating her establishment, Marie Desarnaud associated crystal and gilded bronze. The quality of her creations was unanimously recognized during the Exhibition of French Industry Products in 1819, where she obtained the gold medal.
It was not until the end of Louis Philippe's reign, on the initiative of the Pannier brothers, that the store extended its activity to trade in furniture and began to manufacture cabinetmaking furniture around 1870.
L'Escalier de Cristal specializes in copying 18th century furniture. The quality and the execution of these pieces of furniture are such that they were sometimes taken for originals.
L'Escalier de Cristal won the gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900. The house closed its doors for good in 1923.
