About the Item

A fine French 19th century Louis XVI style mahogany and ormolu mounted two-tier vitrine cabinet. The upper section with a single glass front door below a pierced gilt-bronze floral railing and bowed glass side panels, the top with a draped gallery and fluted columns with gilt-bronze floral inserts. The lower section with a single apron drawer also surmounted with a pierced gilt-bronze floral railing above a single glass door surmounted with fluted columns with gilt-bronze floral inserts, the sides with bowed glass panels, all raised on four cone-shaped legs with gilt-bronze rings and sabots. Attributed to Théodore Millet, Paris, circa 1890-1900. Mâison Millet was established by Théodore Millet in 1853 at 11, Rue Jacques-Coeur, Paris. In 1902 relocated to 23, Boulevard Beaumarchais. Le Mâison Millet was a highly regarded furniture firm that produced 'meuble et bronze d'art, genre ancien et moderne.' Théodore Millet won several awards in the series of exhibitions in London and Paris, such as the gold medal in the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle, a Grand Prix in 1900 and three further diplomes d'honneur and four médailles d'or for the furniture they produced. The firm specialized in the Louis XV and XVI styles, though they were acclaimed by their contemporaries for working in their own modern style. In March 1902, the firm was authorized by the Palais de Versailles to replicate Marie-Antoinette's celebrated Grand cabinet à bijoux. An auction was held in 1906 clearing the remaining stock and the firm finally ceased trading in 1918. Mâison Millet was an active client of François Linke. Measures: Height 80 1/2 inches (204.5 cm) Width 36 1/4 inches (92.1 cm) Depth 16 7/8 inches (42.8 cm). Lot 10343.
