Catalogue Note
Mikhaïl Pavlovitch (1798-1849) est le dernier des dix enfants du tsar Paul I de Russie et, par conséquent, le frère des tsars Alexandre I et Nicolas I. Lors de son passage à Paris, il commanda un très important service principalement exécuté par Biennais et Cahier. Pour des assiettes identiques du même service au poinçon de Cahier, voir Christie's New York, 11 avril 2003, n° 166.
