Court Suit

c.1810

France

This three piece suit is exemplary of skilled French embroidery and the silhouette of men's court wear during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821). Bonaparte revived the importance of court traditions when he crowned himself Emperor in 1804. This revival necessitated the recreation of acceptable court dress, which had been defunct since the elaborate and costly court of Louis XVI (1754-1793) prior to the French Revolution. The intricate embroidery pattern is intriguingly mimicked between the waistcoat and coat, reinforcing its status as a full suit. (The MET)

French States Dinghy built in Antwerp in 21 days for Napoleon I in 1810, who had announced his intention to visit the mouths of the Scheldt and Antwerp's defense works. The Emperor only used this vessel once, on this occasion. It was over 18 meters long: the aft third was dominated by a spacious deckhouse designed to accommodate VIPs, while the oarsmen took up the rest of the space.

It was then transported to Brest and used a second time by Napoleon III in August 1858, when he visited the arsenal, and again in 1903, when the President of the Republic visited. In November 1922, it was launched again for the Minister of the Navy, Raiberti, on the occasion of the "Triumph of the Naval School".

Finally, in 1943, it was transported to the Palais de Chaillot in Paris.

Copy of the Goods of Montpellier

France, c. 1810

Napoleonic era

This book illustrates the huge variety of intricate patterns printed in vivid colors on cotton textiles for fashion during the early 19th century. The book comes from Montpellier, a town on the southern coast of France that is not known today as a center of textile printing. Thus these samples indicate how much more widespread the textile industry was in Europe during the Industrial Revolution. This book contains more than 2,300 small samples.
