This wick was part of the collections of the 1st Duke of Bassano, along with that of the Roi de Rome and the many souvenirs of the Emperor Napoleon I's exile dispersed in our sale. Hugues Bernard Maret had a genuine devotion to the Emperor (which his enemies, including Talleyrand, derided as servility). The memories collected came from witnesses in the 1st circle: Bertrand, Montholon and Maret himself.
