ZIMBERG
15, Rue Anc. Comédie / 53, Pas Panoramas - PARIS

At the time, the idea of building this passage was inspired by oriental engravings depicting the souks. To allow Parisians to walk. Later, around 1830, the architect J- L Victor Grisart undertook renovation works as well as the creation of ramifications formed by the Saint-Marc, des Variétés, de la Bourse, Feydeau and Montmartre galleries. It was therefore at this time that many creators of accessories in tableware settled there, including ZIMBERG.
