(Restoration of the whole) A louis XV period, French lacquered commode by Pierre Migeon, stamped 87,50 x 130 x 61 CM - 34,4 x 51,2 x 24 IN. - - Pierre Migeon IV was received as master around 1725. Coming from a great family of cabinetmakers, he was trained in the factory of his father or his father-in-law. He opened his own factory on the rue de Charenton where he received several orders from wealthy clients such as the Duke of Orleans, the Marshal of Noailles, but also several bishops and ambassadors. He also received commissions from the Garde-Meuble du Roi. Despite the approximate date of his mastery, the Journal Book kept by Pierre Migeon represents an important testimony of the Parisian cabinet making and underlines the prosperity of his own workshop. As a cabinetmaker but also as a dealer, he worked with many talented cabinetmakers such as Mathieu Criaerd or Chartes Topino. His creations are exhibited in various French museums such as the Louvre or the Carnavalet Museum, but also in British museums such as the Wallace Collection or the Victoria & Albert Museum.
