Thomiere, Percier and Fontaine at their wedding in 1798 attests to the esteem with which they were held; taking the helm of the firmly established Jacob company in 1796, Jacob-Desmalter worked from enlarged premises at Rue Mesle´e, with a large work force, supplying the Napoleonic court, furnishing the chateaux at Compiegne, Malmaison and the Tuileries Palace inter alia; the company made the throne upon which Napoleon was invested as Emperor; in turn the business was passed to his son, Alphonse, who died in 1870.
