Honoré Dufin Case Pieces and Storage Cabinets

Honoré Dufin was a sculptor and cabinet maker in Lyon, where he demonstrated a recognized expertise in the manufacture of furniture style. Dufin received a silver medal at the “World's Fair” in Lyon in 1872, then a bronze medal at the 1878 “Paris Exposition Universelle”, which reinforces his reputation. In 1884, he was asked to provide several plates to the theoretical and practical treatise of cabinetmaking after Roubo published by Editions Juliot in Paris. His works are distinguished above all by the care given to the carved decoration, varying from high relief to flat. His will even includes a clause providing for the creation of a prize to be awarded each year to the most brilliant student in sculpture from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyon. When he died in 1892, his company was sold in 1900 to Henri Bonjour, creator of the factory and the Great Furnishing Stores "Au Colosse de Rhodes" located in Lyon.
