Above all, the extremely precise construction, always made of oak wood, was rightly regarded as unrivalled. In 1855, 1862 and 1867, Sormani took part in the world exhibitions in Paris and London and won numerous awards and medals. The company was commercially very successful and employed up to 300 craftsmen at 10, rue Charlot, shortly before the founder’s death in 1877. From 1877, the company was run by the widow Ursule Marie Philippine and his son Paul-Charles under the name “Sormani Veuve et Fils” until 1914. In 1889, the company won the Grand Prix at the Universal Exhibition in Paris.
