Fidelys Schey (Died July 29, 1788) Cabinetmaker of Baden origin. Paris. Master on February 5, 1777. Fidelys SCHEY, originally from Baden, established his workshop on rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine near which he opened a sales store entrusted to his wife. Despite the brevity of his career, his production of works was important. He made Transition and especially Louis XVI style furniture of good quality but without any originality, mahogany furniture decorated with bronze or copper fillets. He particularly cherished the decorations linked to music that are found on the majority of his chests of drawers and his numerous cylinder desks. We have a detailed inventory of Schey's goods, drawn up after his death by his colleagues Martin Ohneberg and Jean Caumont. This inventory mentions more than 550 pieces, including two bookcases in Chinese varnish on the front and Paris varnish on the sides, a large cylinder desk, in mahogany, topped with a glass case, a wardrobe containing a bed, a number of chests of drawers and secretaries decorated with gilded bronze, with a quantity of tables and consoles and small stepped desks.
