With the coming of the Victorian period, there were a number of large furniture producers located in Boston. One of these was A. Eliaers who had migrated from Paris about 1835 and styled himself as "French cabinetmaker." He was one of the first to popularize the Victorian furniture with characteristic cabriole legs, finger molding and carved fruit or flower Ornaments The size of his shop is indicated by his address. "Nos. 12 to 24 Cornhill, Boston, Mass."
