Lot 4111 | Zweispitz des 19. Jhdts., wie auch von Napoleon getragen
Zweispitz des 19. Jhdts., wie auch von Napoleon getragen
Schwarzer Biberfilz, die vordere und hintere Hälfte jeweils halbkreisförmig hochgeschlagen, schauseitig rechts oben mit zweifarbiger Kokarde aus rot/weiß/blau/schwarzem Brokatstoff, mit zwei über der Kokarde verlaufenden schwarzen Bändern, die von einem schwarzem Knopf gehalten werden, der in Handarbeit an der Hutkrempe befestigt ist. Braunes Stofffutter, Schweißband aus dunkelbraunem Leder, im Stirnbereich ein achteckiges braunes Papieretikett mit den vergoldeten Ziffern "172". Dieser Hut befand sich 60 Jahre lang im Besitz eines britischen Sammlers, davor gehörte er einer französischen Familie, deren Vorfahren im Ersten Kaiserreich von Napoleon Bonaparte (1800 - 1815) dienten. Form, Materialien und Kopfgröße ähneln Zweispitz-Hüten, die nachweislich Napoleon gehörten und in den letzten 100 Jahren in Auktionen angeboten wurden. Weniger als 20 Exemplare sind in Museen und Privatsammlungen erhalten geblieben. Es wurden kleinere Restaurierungen und Reparaturen an der Außenseite des Zweispitz vorgenommen, unter anderem wurden die Vorderseite, das schwarze Band und der Knopf ersetzt. Es wird geschätzt, dass Napoleon während seiner Herrschaft etwa 120 solcher Hüte in Gebrauch hatte, die überwiegend von Poupart & Cie "Chapelier, costumier et passementier de l'Empereur et des Princes" angefertigt wurden, deren Geschäft sich im Palais du Tribunal, dem heutigen Palais Royal, befand. Man geht davon aus, dass Napoleon ständig zwölf einsatzfähige Hüte besaß, deren Lebensdauer etwa drei Jahre betrug, und es wird angenommen, dass jedes Jahr zahlreiche Exemplare für ihn gefertigt wurden.

A 19th century bicorne hat of the style worn by Napoleon
A 19th century bicorne hat of the style worn by Napoleon
Black felt, beaver fur with front and back halves turned up to form semi-circular fan shape, right side with bi-color cockade of red/white/blue/black brocade fabric at top, two strips of black securing cord draped across cockade and secured by black finish button, hand-applied and pinned to hat brim. Lined in brown cloth, dark-brown leather sweatband, octagonal shaped brown paper tag with gilt numerals "172" attached at forehead. This hat was owned by a British collector for 60 years, prior to that in the possession of a French family whose ancestor served during the 1st Empire of Napoleon Bonaparte, 1800 - 1815. Construction, materials and head size are similar to those of known examples of Napoleon's bicorne hats appearing at auction over the last 100 years. Less than 20 known examples survive in museums and private collections. Minor restoration and repairs to the hat exterior surface to include replacement of a front section of hat and black securing cord and button. During his reign, it's estimated he used about 120 examples, most of which manufactured by Poupart & Cie "Chapelier, costumier et passementier de l'Empereur et des Princes", whose shop was located at the Palais du Tribunal, now the Palais Royal. It is understood that Napoleon constantly had twelve operational hats, each with a lifetime of about three years with several believed to have been made each year.
