Catalogue Note
Marchand-ébéniste reçu maître vers 1721, Pierre IV Migeon (1696-1758) se distingue par un goût prononcé pour les marqueteries associant des compositions géométriques aux lignes et jeux de frisage stricts à des dessins plus complexes de courbes et contre-courbes réalisés en bois plus sombre comme l'amarante. Cette particularité se retrouve sur l'abattant du présent secrétaire comme sur celui de la collection Widener, conservé à la National Gallery of Art à Washington et a été largement déclinée sur de nombreux modèles de meubles.
