Historical memories & weapons

HISTORICAL MEMORIES

Miniatures, porcelain, medals, military decorations, furniture from royal estates... History, big and small, is embodied by these exceptional objects that collectors seek with passion.

Audap & Associés regularly organizes sales of historical souvenirs, collected by great enthusiasts or preserved for several centuries by families with a rich history.

In 2018 and 2019, Me Audap sold, on the occasion of two sales, an exceptional palestric collection counting hundreds of medals, including the case of the decorations of the 2nd Duke of CAMBACERES, grand master of the ceremonies of NAPOLEON III and a jewel of the Legion of Honor by COUDRAY having belonged to the Duke of BERRY.

Concerned with safeguarding heritage, museums carefully monitor our sales. Important works have thus been pre-empted by historical institutions, such as the Legion of Honor museum, the Château de Versailles and the Condé museum in Chantilly.


Some key works:

 

  • Pair of marquetry corner cabinets made by cabinetmaker Martin CARLIN for Queen Marie-Antoinette in Versailles – Sold for €51,500 on June 8, 2021 and pre-empted by the Palace of Versailles,
  • Soft porcelain bust of King Louis XV by the CHANTILLY manufactory - Sold for €63,000 on May 10, 2022 and pre-empted by the Condé Museum in Chantilly,
  • Knight's jewel of the Order of the Hunt of Jérôme BONAPARTE, King of Westphalia – Sold for €56,600 on October 22, 2019,
  • Lady's set of Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Catherine in gold and silver paved with diamonds – Auctioned for €150.000 in 2018,
  • Two bottle buckets offered by Louis XVI to Prince Henry of Prussia in 1784 – Sold for €37,350 on May 10, 2022,
  • Amicorum album composed by the Countess d'Hautefort including a drawing by Eugène DELACROIX – Sold for €51,200 on March 30, 2021.
