• Lot Description
  Exquisite Pair of French Ormolu-Mounted Chinese Style Porcelain Vases and Covers, attributed to Maison Millet, Paris, circa 1880. The porcelain, possibly French. The bronze mounts are 10/10. Inspired by Chinese design, this pair of vases depict a colorful array of stallion horses with painted flowers, with natural crackle glaze to the porcelain throughout. Apparently, unmarked. 9" high x 4.5" wide x 4.5" wide. Very good condition. No damages noted. Established by T. Millet in 1853, the Maison Millet operated until 1902 from premises at 11, rue Jacques-Coeur, Paris, before relocating to 23, boulevard Beaumarchais. Specialising in 'meubles et bronzes d'art, genre ancien et moderne', with the accent on Louis XVI antecedents, Maison Millet was awarded medals at many of the late 19th century Universal Exhibitions and, in 1902, was authorised by the director of the Palais de Versailles to replicate Marie-Antoinette's celebrated Grand cabinet _в__в„а bijoux. An auction of the firm's inventory was held in 1906 and they finally ceased trading in 1918.
