The Beurdeley family is one of the most important dynasties of furniture makers in the 19th century. They brought their art to a level of skill rarely equaled. They worked for three generations from 1818 to 1895. The Beurdeleys are particularly renowned for the quality of their gilded bronze mounts and the choice of precious materials for the decoration of their furniture and objets d'art. The systematic use of mercury gilding and the quality of the chiselling allowed them to perpetuate the tradition of excellence of the 18th century.
