5"H x 7.25"D x 5.88"W
Described as proprietors of 'ébénisterie de lux', the atelier of Tahan participated in many of the major international exhibitions between 1849 and 1867, winning a silver medal in 1849 and a Médaille d'or in 1867. However, as superior in quality as his works were, the 1867 exhibition jury questioned Tahan's role as sole producer of his exhibited pieces, considering his close relationship with various well-known ébénistes of the time, including Eugène Cornu and Joseph Cremer (see D. Ledoux-Lebard, Le Mobilier Français du XIXe Siècle, Paris, 1984, p. 595).
