One of Napoleon’s hats could fetch €600,000 at auction
The star lot of the Sotheby’s auction in Paris is a bicorne which, it is thought, travelled with Napoleon throughout his triumphant campaign of 1807. It is believed to have been worn by him as he signed the peace treaties of Tilsit that carved up continental Europe into different zones of French and Russian influence. The sale, from 15-22 September, will have about 100 lots and includes visual art, sculpture, silverware, furniture, porcelain, jewellery, photography as well as memorabilia.
