Charles Guillaume Diehl was born in 1811 in Steinbach (Hesse), Germany. In 1840, like many other cabinetmakers, Diehl settled in Paris to produce small pieces of furniture such as sewing tables. By 1850 he was listed first time in the Trade Almanach. Diehl participated in the Great Exhibition in 1851 and in all other major international exhibitions during the middle of the 19th century. In 1870 he established a large atelier where he employed no less than 600 craftsmen. Diehl became a naturalized French citizen in 1872, circa 1885 Diehl died. Diehl's pieces are collected by such prestigious museums worldwide including the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, the Rijks museum in Amsterdam and Nancy and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. -
