History

Jacquemart et Bérnard was founded in 1791 by Pierre Jacquemart and Eugène Balthasar Crescent Bénard de Moulinières.[2] The company was the successor to the Parisian wallpaper manufacturer Réveillon.[3][4] Following turmoil related to the French revolution, Jean-Baptiste Réveillon transferred the operations of his company at 39, rue de Montreuil, Paris to Jacquemart & Bérnard in 1791.[5][6][7]

Legacy

Examples of the company's wallpapers are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York,[8] the Victoria and Albert Museum, London,[9] and the Rhode Island School of Design.[10] Richard Nixon's 1972 refurbishment of the White House Blue Room used antique Jacquemart et Bérnard wallpaper that had been produced in 1800.[11]
