A. Damon & Colin (Maison Krieger A. Damon & Colin) [-. France. Furniture Manufacturers]

 

A. Damon & Colin [also known as Damon & Colin] was a firm of cabinetmakers established in Paris, France in the late nineteenth century

Damon & Cie was closely associated for many years with the cabinetmakers Maison Krieger, founded by Antoine and Nicolas Krieger in 1826 at 17, Rue Saint-Nicolas, Paris,

In 1880 Krieger and Damon & Colin merged and the name changed to Krieger, Damon et Cie. By the 1890s the firm was known as Maison Krieger A. Damon & Colin. Their premises were located at 74, Rue Du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine.

In c.1909 the firm became Colin & Courcier, however, the firm continued to bear the signature Krieger or Maison Krieger.

Note: much of this information comes from the notes in a catalogue of a sale by Sotheby’s in 2009 of a cabinet manufactured by Maison Krieger, Colin & Courcier, and has yet to be verified.
