In 1860, he was located at 5, rue du Grand-Chantier, later moving to several locations including 36, rue Rambuteau where objects d'art et de fantaisie were sold and finally to 36, rue Amelot where he stayed until the end of the century.

Anne of Cleves (1515-1557) was the fourth wife of Henry VIII. Born in Dusseldorf, she was the daughter of John III of the Duchy of Cleves - who was seen as an important potential ally. Henry was taken by a flattering portrait of her painted by Hans Holbein and entered into marriage negotiations. The first actual meeting did not go well however and within hours he declared: 'I like her not' ! By this time it was too late to get out of the marriage contract without offending the Germans and so they were wed in January 1540. Various reasons, both personal and political, led Henry to want to annul the marriage and Anne was sensible enough not to raise too many objections. It was over by July 1540 and Anne received a generous settlement, including Hever Castle and the house in Lewes which now bears her name. . Anne of Cleaves House in Lewes is a 15th century timber framed Wealden hall-house. It is currently a museum. . The bedhead for Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves is in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow.
