During the 18th C the Parisian Guild "Corporation de Meunuiserie" imposed a strict training scheme over several years ending with the apprentice making of a miniature piece of furniture to prove his talent - the "meuble de maitrise" . Although the guilds were abolished during the French Revolution many apprentice furniture-makers continued to make this miniature during the 19th C, a tradition which continues today with the Compagnons du Tour de France.
