MAISON MILLET (1853-1918) was founded in 1853 by Theodore Millet. The company exclusively produced luxury furniture and gilded bronze objects of the highest quality. It was mainly furniture in the style of the 18th century. Due to the high demand, Millet had some of his orders made by other renowned ebenists. These included François Linke. Millet won the gold medal at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1889. Maison Millet was open as a producer until 1902 and, after the death of the company founder in 1906, as a store until 1918.
