Established by T. Millet in 1853, the Maison Millet operated in Paris until 1902 from premises at 11, rue Jacques-Coeur, before relocating to 23, boulevard Beaumarchais. Specialising in 'meubles et bronzes d'art, genre ancien et moderne', with the accent on Louis XV and XVI antecedents, Maison Millet was awarded medals at many of the late 19th century Universal Exhibitions, and in 1902 was authorised by the Palais de Versailles to replicate Marie-Antoinette's celebrated Grand cabinet à bijoux. An auction of the firm's inventory was held in 1906 and they finally ceased trading in 1918.
