Sotheby’s said the man gathered “one of the most important products of Napoleon’s materials.”
On June 25, in Paris, the house sold about 100 batches from the privately collected Pierre-Jean Chalençon, known as “the most famous antique collector in France” era. The sale is called “Napoleon: A Historic Collection”.
Chalençon recently told New York Post He considered the Tesla billionaire to be an ideal potential buyer of its collection, including one of Napoleon’s iconic double-hat hats, pioneer swords and sticks used by French generals at the 1804 coronation ceremony in Paris. Sotheby’s is also selling his old stockings and portable camp beds.
“[The lots] He said, like my baby. I hope Elon Musk of New Napoleon buys everything to keep my babies together. ”
“Reverberating Napoleon’s words – “My life is new! ” – The series reads like a vivid historical epic, spreading across battlefields and erectile wings, ritual halls and intimate rooms, alternating chronicles of power, politics and feasts, related to men’s vulnerability, combat and ambivalent rhetoric.
Chalençon was reportedly forced to sell his Paris mansion transformed into a shrine to Napoleon to pay off his 10 million euro loan. He bought the palace Vivienne for €6 million in 2015 and did not waste time setting it apart from his collection of Napoleonic Memorabilia, which is said to be 1,000 pieces. It includes Napoleon’s crowning ring, which has 5.33 carats of ruby. Antique dealers describe themselves as “Napoleon’s press officer.”
In March, era He is working to repay a loan of 100 million euros, writes. But, he told Le Parisien: “I have no debts. I’m doing a good job.”
The series, which will be on display in Sotheby’s Hong Kong from May 23 to 27, is currently on display in Sotheby’s New York until June 11, until at the French Capitals auction later this month.
Whether Musk will take a break from Donald Trump bidding for the sale remains to be seen.
