Dame Vuillaume, née Léontine Rohmer, never reconciled herself to the court's decision
against her in her trial against Miss Huret. With the Exposition Universelle of 1867, she
applied to the Exposition's Jury of Admission for the right to present her pressed zinc dolls,
for by then the Huret patent had become public domain. She suffered failure anew, for her
application was refused. The jury stated that her dolls were "... of ordinary make..."
This was actually scarcely surprising, for by that time, doll manufacturing had made such
strides that great originality was required in order to win the jury's approval. Nevertheless,
due to the cancellation of another exhibitor, Alexandre Schanne to be exact, maker of woollen
toys and others, there was a vacancy, and Dame Vuillaume was allowed to exhibit her dolls.
She worked very hard at the presentation of her dolls and their clothes, enlisting the help
of her mother, the seamstress. History has it that she was awarded the bronze medal. Her
mother, cited as part of the small company, was also rewarded.
The Reidemeister and Vuillaume families were quite close-knit, and made up a solid
family unit. With no male descendant, the Rohmer name disappeared in favour of the
two others, yet the company remained under the name of "Mme Rohmer" in the business
listings, or under the name "Maison Rohmer."
The dramatic historical events of 1870 caused the families to move to 23 rue de Choiseul,
in the quarter where the Parisian seamstresses worked. Given her advanced age, and
knowing her daughters to be in good hands, Mme. Rohmer took advantage of the move to
retire from business. She settled at 31 Blvd de la Villette to tranquilly live on her earnings for
the rest of her days.
