Very beautiful eagle from the central part of the main room of Emperor Napoleon III's grand surtout for the Tuileries Palace, executed by the silversmith Christofle, saved after the fire of May 23, 1871: Silver-plated brass eagle with outstretched wings, the left claw resting on a thunderbolt and the right holding a shield with the numeral: "N" surmounted by the imperial crown; it is presented on a modern base in patinated bronze. These eagles were originally placed in the middle of the main piece, one at the front, the other at the back. The colossal centerpiece represents France distributing awards. 44 x 28 cm. (Crack to the paw holding the shield). Circa 1855/1856. Very good condition for a piece that suffered a fire. The large silver-plated surtout was commissioned in 1852, while Louis-Napoléon BONAPARTE was still Prince President. In 1852, Christofle was commissioned by the head of the Prince President's household to produce a dinner service with one hundred pieces of silverware. The large silverware set and the one hundred place settings (Manufacture de Sèvre) were completed on February 18, 1856. It was presented at the 1855 Universal Exhibition in Paris, even though it was not yet complete; the surtout met with considerable success, not least due to the use of the brand-new electroplating process, considered a revolution. The surtout is reproduced in the exhibition at the Château de Versailles: Versailles et les tables royales en Europe, November 3, 1993 - February 27, 1994. It is reproduced on pages 246 to 248; on page 247, you can see the central part of the main element where one of the eagles is represented; the one we are showing was probably the one on the other side. An important study on this particular piece, pages 371 to 379.
