Pierre-François QUEILLÉ (inscribed 1834, crossed out 1846) - Lot 338
Pierre-François QUEILLÉ (inscribed 1834, crossed out 1846) Covered with an ice cream set in vermeil, silver 1st title 950‰, composed of a shovel and a knife, finely carved and engraved with pamper and Bacchus. Figures. In its case. Weight 210 g Model made for Josephine de Beauharnais by Martin-Guillaume Biennais on a drawing by Charles Percier. The matrices of this model were bought by Queillé during the succession of Biennais. Henri Bouilhet tells us in L'Orfèvrerie française in the 18th and 19th centuries that when he left for exile, the Emperor left the Malmaison where he had spent his last days, with a modest baggage in which he had barely collected the essential items. Queen Hortense slipped a model of this blanket into the Emperor's suitcase at the last moment, and the Emperor found it only on the ship that was taking it out of France.
