He specialised in the high-quality reproduction of furniture and bronzes from the 18th century. MILLET was one of the few cabinet-makers allowed to supply the Palace of Versailles, thus acting as purveyor to the court. His manufactory received various prizes - including a gold medal at the Paris World’s Fair in 1889 and the Grand Prix at the Paris World’s Fair in 1900.
