About the Item
A very fine French 19th century Louis XVI style burr-walnut and mahogany marquetry and ormolu-mounted Military armorial Meuble D'Appui with a Veined Brèche Violette marble top, attributed to Mâison Millet, Paris. The tall and narrow three-door side-cabinet or commode surmounted with an allegorical armorial military gilt and patinanted bronze crest with military helmets, lion pelted shields, arrows, swords, a Royal sash and baton with ram-heads, flags and wreaths, all centred with a circular patinated bronze plaque depicting playful putti. The centre door with floral marquetry side-trim and a marquetry scrolled design at the base. The side doors, each with an ormolu acanthus and fleur de lis trim above a scrolled floral side-mount. The base with a ormolu seashell and acanthus trim, raised on four square-cone shaped legs surmouted with floral ormolu mounts. The three interior compartments, each with an adjustable oak shelf, Paris, circa 1880-1890.
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.
