Regence chest of drawers stamped P M , attributed to Pierre Moulin
About the Item
Chest of drawers in violet wood, the curved front opening to five drawers in three rows, the top in red marble from Flanders resting on rounded fluted uprights, beautiful ormolu ornamentation.
The PM iron remains a mystery for the time being: we can think of at least three cabinetmakers whose initials correspond to these two letters. The first, Pierre Moulin, qualified as a cabinetmaker in Paris, was living in Grande-rue-du-Faubourg-Saint-Antoine in 1710, when he married Jeanne Mainguet on November 6. He was the son of the late Pierre Moulin, painter and varnisher, and Geneviève Alexandre, who had married François Painsun, also a cabinetmaker, in a second marriage, and who had apprenticed him on July 28, 1700, to Bernard Van Risen Burgh, another great cabinetmaker of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. The second could be Pierre III Migeon (1665-c. 1717/1719); finally, the third could be his son, Pierre IV Migeon (1696-1758), who acquired his master's degree around 1721 and went on to become one of the most important cabinetmakers in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. It should be noted, however, that we only know the full stamp of two Migeons, hence our attribution to Pierre Moulin. Provenance: Château de Vidouze then Château de Beaulieu.

Regence style tripod giltwood stand
Located in Paris, FR

What is a torchiere?
The word torchere is first mentioned, according to Harvard, in the dictionnaire de l'Académie in 1696, but, the author points out, the term had already been in use for more than twenty years. At first, the torchere seems to have been a large candlestick, significantly larger and sturdier than ordinary candlesticks. Towards the end of the 17th century, the torchiere included several torches. This multiplied the number of lighting sources. A little later, the torchiere was transformed into a pedestal table on which candlesticks, candelabras and girandoles were placed. Intended for the homes of the wealthy classes, the silver torchiere...
