The Krieger company, founded in Paris in 1826 by Antoine Krieger, was a major manufacturer of quality furniture. It was taken over at the end of the 19th century by Antoine Krieger's son-in-law and changed its name. It continued to produce stylish furniture and, in the 1920s-30s, employed up to 1,000 people in its Faubourg Saint-Antoine workshops. It is also said to have established a branch in Cairo. Similar Ottoman-style Orientalist furniture graced the Palais Sursock in Beirut.
