The origin of Maison Tahan dates back to the beginning of the 19th century in Belgium, before the son of the founder came to settle in France. The Tahan house was then rue de la Paix in Paris, before moving to boulevard des Italiens. Tahan, cabinetmaker to Emperor Napoleon III, provided the imperial furniture repository. The Court then placed a large number of orders with him.
