A French Napoléon III pair of three-lights candelabras

Attributed to Maison Millet Paris
The firm of Millet was founded in Paris in 1853.
A very talented specialist in 18th century reproductions, Millet produced furniture and artistic bronzes of the highest quality. He was one of the few cabinetmakers to obtain authorization from the Château de Versailles to make a replica of Queen Marie-Antoinette’s great jewel cabinet. As an artist of great merit, he obtained the highest rewards such as the Gold Medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1889 and the Grand Prize at the Universal Exhibition of 1900. The firm lasted until 1918.
