专家说明

Established by Théodore Millet in 1853, the Maison Millet operated until 1902 from premises at 11, rue Jacques-Coeur, Paris, before relocating to 23, boulevard Beaumarchais. Specializing in meubles et bronzes d'art, genre ancien et moderne, Millet was awarded medals at a number of the Expositions Universelles and, in 1902, was authorized by the director of the Palais de Versailles to replicate Marie-Antoinette's celebrated grand cabinet bijoux. An auction of the firm's inventory was held in 1906 and they finally ceased trading in 1918.

An identical pair of Chinese vases mounted by Millet sold at Christie's, New York, 21 April 2009, lot 279 ($50,000).
