专家说明

The Maison Millet, founded in 1853 by T. Millet, was first located at 11, rue Jacques-Coeur, Paris, then moved to 23, Boulevard Beaumarchais in 1902. Specialising in meubles et bronzes d'art, genre ancien et moderne, mainly copies of French 18th century models, Maison Millet was awarded many medals such as the 1889 Exposition Universelle Gold Medal, a Grand prix in 1900 and three Diplômes d'Honneur. In 1902, Millet was authorised by the curator of the Palais de Versailles to replicate Queen Marie-Antoinette's celebrated 'Grand cabinet à Bijoux'. An auction of their stock was held in 1906 and the firm finally ceased trading in 1918.

A centre table by Millet was sold at Sotheby's, London, 27 February 1998, lot 305.

A hardstone-mounted vitrine cabinet (lot 80) and a centre table (lot 64) both by Millet also feature in this sale.
