<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 109191, member: 23&quot;]I saw an exhibit of Napoleon&#039;s belongings in a Museum, including the royal robe from the famous painting.&nbsp; Every single item he owned was overdesigned and pumped up within an inch of it&#039;s life.&nbsp; As much as you want to think that the etched designs have something in common with Cahier&#039;s patterns, I don&#039;t see any real relationship between them.&nbsp; Acanthus was popular in many designs at the time as was that border.&nbsp; Given a half hour, I could probably saturate the board with items like it.&nbsp; You really need to bring it to a Museum to be vetted before you go around telling people it was from the coronation.&nbsp; It&#039;s too plain and wimpy.&nbsp; Really. Go to any Museum or online and look at coronation items.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
