Born in Steinbach, Charles Guillaume Diehl (1811-1885) was a cabinetmaker of Germanic origin, who settled in Paris from 1840. He specialized in furniture and small objects, before moving to high cabinet making. In the course of his career, it was indeed the caskets (liquor cabinets, game cabinets, various boxes) that made him famous. He was awarded a bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1867 for his famous medallion known as the Triumph of Merovinia decorated with a silver bronze decoration by Emmanuel Fremiet (1824-1910) with whom he collaborated, in a completely new Merovingian spirit. It is now kept in the Musée d'Orsay.
