Paul Sormani (1817-1877) Born in Venice in 1817, Paul Sormani produced standard and elaborate furniture from a number of locations in Paris. In 1858, he expanded his business and produced articles modeled after the previous century's maitres ebenistes. In 1867, he set up shop at 10 Rue Charlot, Paris. After his death Sormani's son Paul Charles took over the business and later moved it to 134 Boulevard Haussman.
