Government department/national institution
This phrase occurs in an awards speech, talking about places the recipient has worked. I need a short phrase (just a few words) to sum up what the "Mobilier national" is. "French National State Furniture Department" perhaps? Can anyone come up with a better idea? Thanks in advance for any help.

Mobilier National (National Cultural Movable Heritage)
You could just say "National Heritage Furniture" I suppose

Of course you can leave the French as is. But you asked for a translation but leave it in brackets if using.

"Mobiler national"
You can leave it that way in French, but it isn't "movable heritage"

: your link is French. I agree about leaving the French but Asker is looking for translation.

Government agency for France's state furniture and decorative arts collection
The Mobilier national is a service à compétence nationale (meaning that it has a government function and is affiliated to a government department or ministry) and it seems to be dedicated to the furnishing of state buildings and to the conservation of France's decorative arts heritage.
