MIGEON Pierre IV (II) Migeon Pierre IV (1696-1758) – cabinetmaker – mastery obtained around 1725: The most famous of his lineage, Pierre Migeon IV, cabinetmaker as well as merchant, stands out for furniture with a delicious mix between tradition and modernity. Coming from a family of cabinetmakers, all named Pierre, Pierre IV Migeon is the son of Pierre III Migeon and Judith Mesureur. Fourth in his line, he alone arouses the interest of amateurs. Probably trained in the factory of his father or his father-in-law, his activity took place in the first half of the 18th century when the use of the stamp became widespread. If his date of mastery remains hypothetical, his reputation is known through numerous signed pieces of furniture, made from his factory on rue de Charenton. The latter were delivered to a rich aristocratic clientele including the Duke of Orléans, the Duchess of Rohan, the Duchess of Epernon, the Marshal of Noailles but also several bishops and ambassadors. From the 1740s, he delivered works for the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne and the Menus-Plaisirs. He benefits from the protection of the Marquise de Pompadour. He also has many clients in France and abroad. If Migeon's profession is that of cabinetmaker, he also works as a merchant. He then collaborated with many cabinetmakers - among the most renowned of his time - such as Bircklé, Canabas, Criaerd, Jacques Dubois, Lacroix, Saunier and Topino. The stamp of these cabinetmakers is often visible not far from that of the merchant.
