He settled in Paris at the very beginning of the 20th century, in a private mansion in Neuilly-sur-Seine, which he had entirely decorated and furnished, notably with furniture from the workshop of François Linke, a cabinetmaker in vogue since the 1900 Universal Exhibition. On his death, the mansion was sold, but the furniture remained in the family. For a similar cabinet - Christie's sale, March 29, 2000, lot 269.
