Pierre II Migeon, active probably late 1730's - 1758.

The son of the ébéniste Pierre I Migeon, Pierre II Migeon is thought to have started working in his father's atelier in the Faubourg Saint-Antoîne in 1726. As the livre-journal of 1730 - 1736 testifies, their establishment enjoyed considerable prosperity, with no less that 9 separate locations and a clientèle that included the duchesse de Bourbon, the duc d'Orléans, the duchesse de Rohan and, in 1740, the Menus-Plaisirs, followed shortly after by the garde-meuble de la Couronne on behalf of Madame de Pompadour. A marchand-ébéniste, Pierre II Migeon worked with numerous cabinet-makers including Topino, R.V.L.C., Duval, Mondon, Criaerd, Macret, Péridiez, Landrin.
