Adam Weisweiler (1746-1820) was a German cabinetmaker that became a master in France in 1778. He moved in Faubourg Saint-Antoine where he quickly acquired a great reputation. He specialized in small furniture and was known for his use of Sevres or Wedgwood porcelain plates. His creations were very appreciated by aristocracy and the great Europe courts. He became the provider of the French and English courts, the Prince of Wales, the queen of Naples or Catherine II of Russia, thanks to the marchand–mercier Daguerre.

He became a precursor in taste and decorative trend thanks to an elaborate and fine executed production. For that, he worked with best craftsmen as the bronze makers Gouthière and Thomire. Progressively during his career, he produced more and more « normal size » furniture, also very elegant and with a great execution quality.

He passed through the French Revolution without many trouble, he became the official provider of the Imperial court and then stopped his production in 1809, a year after his wife death and his son internment.
