Maison Grimard is recorded to have produced fine 'Meubles d'Art' at 5 rue de Charonne in Paris in the second half of the nineteenth century. Grimard exhibited at many international fairs and exhibitions, including the Paris 1878 exposition universelle. Known for high quality furnishing, mainly in the Louis XVI and Neoclassical style, with finely chased ormolu mounts and often incorporating vernis martin style panels, his pieces rarely come up for sale and most remain in private collections. Like many of the other renown Parisian cabinet makers from the 19th century, Grimard's furnishings were exported to high-end markets and clients all over the world.
