Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener (b. 1849) was a preeminent cabinetmaker (ébéniste) of German descent, who became one of the most famous furniture makers in late 19th Century Europe. Zwiener specialised in reproducing the designs of Louis XV pieces from public collections, which he then adapted with his own innovative interpretation of the traditional Rococo style.
