Fidelys SCHEY (died July 29, 1788), who was received as a master cabinetmaker in Paris on February 5, 1777. Born in the Duchy of Baden, he came to settle in Paris towards the end of the 1760s or at the beginning of the following decade, and opened his workshop on rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, in the area favored by the furniture artisans of the time. Despite the brevity of his career, he created numerous pieces of furniture in the Transition and Louis XVI styles of very good quality and quickly achieved great notoriety, allowing him in particular to work for the Crown furniture repository by delivering in 1786 some game tables for the castle of Fontainebleau.
