Vervelle Audot was one of the most renowned French cabinet makers, manufacturers and furniture sellers in mid 19th century in Paris. Jean-Francois Vervelle founded the firm of Maison Vervelle in 1804 and went on to exhibit at the Paris Expositions of 1827 and 1844 as well as at the Paris Exposition Univeselle in 1855. Henry Audot took the firm over in 1856 and became known as H. Audot Dallongeville working from Rue Neuve-Montmorency before taking back the original Vervelle House premises. They made all sorts of small pieces of furniture, including boxes, caskets, and liqueurs cellars. The Decorative Arts Museum in Paris located at 107 Rue de Rivoli has several of the firm’s furniture drawings including similar objects.
