Pierre Migeon II, ma?tre circa 1738.
This finely veneered and rare table d'accouchée, relates to another table of same function also by Pierre Migeon, sold at Christie's Paris, 6 November 2014, lot 238. The son of the ébéniste Pierre I Migeon, Pierre II is thought to have started working in his father's atelier in the rue Faubourg Saint-Antoine in 1726. As the livre-journal of 1730-36 testifies, their establishment enjoyed considerable prosperity, with no less than nine separate locations and a clientèle that included the duchesse de Bourbon, the duc d'Orléans, the duchesse de Rohan and, in 1740, the Menus-Plaisirs, followed shortly thereafter by the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne on behalf of Madame de Pompadour.
