Jean-Baptiste Sené, maitre in 1769.
Jean-Jacques-Régis Cambacérès (1753-1824) was named archchancellor of the Empire by Napoleon, and is most notably recognized as one of the authors for the Napoleonic Code, which served as the basis for much of French civil law. In 1800, he moved into the sumptuous Hôtel d'Elbeuf on the old rue Saint-Nicaise, and furnished his residence with treasures from the former Garde-Meuble de la Couronne and from revolutionary seizures. In 1808, he was bequeathed the Hôtel Molé by Napoleon, otherwise known as the Hôtel de Cambacérès. On February 10, 1816 the residence was purchased by Louise-Marie-Adélaïde de Bourbon-Penthièvre, the Duchesse d’Orléans. According to the terms of the sale contract, she became the owner of the building and the entirety of the furnishings on the ground floor of the hôtel for 580,000 francs. Upon her death in 1821, her son, the future King Louis-Philippe, inherited the property and moved the contents of the Hôtel de Cambacérès to the Château d'Eu. It is during this time that Louis-Philippe began to renovate and refurbish the the château, and when the present lot is recorded as being in the collection. Located in the Bresle valley between Normandy and Picardy, the Château d'Eu was reconstructed in 1578 by Henri le Balafri, duc de Guise. It was the home of the ducs de Maine before ownership by the Orléans. During the French Revolution, the château was seized and most of its furnishings either sold or destroyed, and was restituted to the duchesse d'Orléans in 1814. Under his reign, the château served as the summer residence of King Louis-Philippe.
