By the start of the late 19th century, Maison Krieger was one of the largest furniture manufacturers in Paris, renowned throughout France and Europe for their quality workmanship and range of furnishings and decor.
The company was founded in 1826 by Bas-Rhin-born brothers Nicolas and Antoine Krieger, who distinguished themselves by producing exceptional reproductions of Empire furniture as well as luxury 18th-century furniture including in the styles of Louis XV and Louis XVI.
Working with marble, mahogany, gilt and bronze, Maison Krieger produced elaborate cabinets and buffets, magnificently handcrafted consoles, center tables, chairs and other pieces. The firm also collaborated with master ébéniste François Linke, and the Maison Krieger label can be found on some of Linke’s works.
Throughout the mid to late 19th century, Maison Krieger underwent several transformations. In 1850, the company was renamed Antoine Krieger et Cie. Following Antoine’s death in 1856, his son-in-law took charge, changing the firm’s name to Cosse-Racault et Cie. Several years later, in 1880, the company became Krieger, Damon et Cie when it merged with furniture manufacturer Damon et Colin.
Despite their multiple reformations, Maison Krieger’s reputation for designing and producing elegant furniture never wavered, and they garnered critical acclaim at several major exhibitions of the 19th century.
In 1849, the firm exhibited at the Exposition des Produits de l’Industrie in Paris. They participated in the Great Exhibition in London two years later, winning a second-class medal for an oak sideboard they made for a client from the Ottoman Empire. In 1855, they exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris and again in 1900.
By the 1920s and 1930s, Maison Krieger had up to 1,000 employees working in their massive workshops in Faubourg St. Antoine. However, the company ceased production in 1945.
Today, Maison Krieger furniture continues to be highly coveted by antique collectors and connoisseurs of 18th-century reproductions and 19th-century pieces.

1930s Tuscan-Style Spanish Solid Walnut Buffet
Located in Split, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija
Spanish Revival Bleached Oak Buffet, 1930s "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." — Leonardo da Vinci Spain, 1930s Crafted from solid oak and gently bleached to reveal its natural warmth, this Spanish Revival buffet embodies the quiet grandeur of Iberian craftsmanship. The robust structure is softened by the timeworn patina, while the hand-carved, paneled doors showcase the depth and dimension characteristic of traditional Castilian woodworking. Aged iron latches and strap hinges add an authentic touch, evoking the old-world charm of Spanish haciendas. Rooted in Spanish Revival architecture, this buffet takes inspiration from the grand interiors of 17th-century Andalusian and Catalan homes, where dark, monolithic woodwork was an essential part of the aesthetic. The geometric relief carvings echo the intricate coffered ceilings and Moorish influences that shaped Spain’s design heritage, while the sturdy, functional form reflects the rustic simplicity of Spanish Colonial furnishings. - Hand-Carved Paneled Doors – A striking interplay of recessed geometric motifs, celebrating Castilian craftsmanship. - Bleached Walnut Finish – A contemporary touch that lightens the piece while preserving its historical integrity. - Hand-Forged Iron Hardware – Traditional Spanish-style latches and hinges, adding an artisanal flourish. - Four Upper Drawers & Three Spacious Cupboards – A perfect blend of form and function, offering ample storage. - Stepped Base & Framed Side Panels – Architectural details that reinforce the piece’s stately presence.
