MAISON MILLET (1853-1918), established in Paris in 1853 by Théodore Millet, was renowned for crafting luxury furniture and gilded bronze objets d’art of exceptional quality, primarily inspired by 18th-century styles. The firm’s reputation for excellence led to collaborations with other esteemed cabinetmakers, including François Linke, to meet high demand. Maison Millet achieved significant acclaim, securing a gold medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris and the Grand Prix in 1900. The company operated as a manufacturer until 1902 and continued as a retailer until 1918.
