Durand participated in the Universal Exhibition of 1889 where he obtained a silver medal for his antique furniture. A report from A Picard, one of the contemporary commentators at the time, noted that M.DURAND a skilful and modest cabinet maker, exhibits for the first time furniture of first order, which he drew and executed himself he is in the footsteps of the masters BEURDELEY and DASSON.
A bouillotte table is a round marble-topped card table with a pierced metal gallery above a panelled frieze, the gallery allowed for a bouchon felt top to be placed securely on top of the marble when the table was being used for the game. Bouillotte is a card game that was extremely popular in France in the 18th century and carried on through to the 19th Century.
