Installée dans les galeries du Palais royal à Paris, très rapidement la maison fait des objets montés en cristal et bronze doré sa spécialité. A la pointe de la mode, tous types d'objets d'art, mobilier seront commandés par les plus grands de ce monde, à commencer par la duchesse de Berry ou encore la famille Rothschild. Notre vase est répertorié dans les carnets de Henry Pannier (1855-1935) qui prend la direction du magasin avec son frère Georges en 1885. Très consciencieux, il consigne de nombreux modèles de la maison dans son journal dont notre vase décrit comme : "Vase à pans turquoise monture feuillages aux [...] dragons." A côté du dessin du vase aqaurellé parfaitement reconnaissable, les noms de certains commanditaires sont notés en marge, notamment S. de Rothschild, ou encore Despeaux ou Collin.
