Gervais-Maximilen-Eugene-Durand established the Maison Durand firm in 1870, producing top quality 18th century style furniture. The business triumphed when the firm participated in the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle, obtaining a silver medal and commended as 'un ebenistesaussi habile que modeste, qui expose por la premiere fois les muebles de premeire ordre, dont il est a la fois le dessinateur et l'executant ; il marche sure la voie tracee par les maitres tel que Beurdeley et Dasson. In 1890 Durands son Frederic-Louis joined the firm and the name was changed to Durand & Fils. The firm was located at 12 Rue de la Cerisaie, Paris but subsequently moved in 1900 to 62 Rue Saint Antoine, previously the hotel de Sully.
