Footnote
The Ehalt fine furniture company was founded in Strasbourg in 1924 by Charles Ehalt, a master carver renowned for his traditional designs inspired by the Alsace and Lorraine regions. In 1948, his son, Jean-Pierre Ehalt, assumed management of the business, expanding its repertoire to include furniture in the Louis XVI, Queen Anne and Georgian styles. The firm maintained its distinguished reputation for fine craftsmanship and the high quality of its work.
