Founded in Paris by Theodore Millet in 1853, the furniture firm Maison Millet’s production was of the highest quality. The firm won several awards in the world exhibitions in London and Paris, such as the gold medal in the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle, a Grand Prix in 1900, three further “diplomes d’honneur” and four “médailles d’or” for the quality of the furniture it produced. Millet closely collaborated with Leon Message, who worked exclusively for him, Linke, Zwiener, and Roux et Brunet.
