Revel is known as the city of art furniture since the end of the 19th century. A cabinetmaker from Versailles, Alexandre Monoury, settled in the town in 1988, manufacturing pieces of furniture, copies of styles such as museum copies covered by marquetry decorations.
In 1930, Golden Age of the City, 140 workshops and 700 workers attracted buyers from France and around the globe. Still today, several workshops contribute to Revel's reputation in this scope.
