A royal gift made silver.
In 1864, Empress Eugénie — wife of Napoleon III and the last Empress of France — commissioned London silversmith John Samuel Hunt to create this extraordinary 32-piece picnic set for her dear friend Baron Brolin. Engraved with the Baron’s initials and crown, each piece bears Hunt’s hallmark lineage to the legendary Paul Storr. The brass plaque reads: “To my favorite tenant Baron Brolin with my sincere gratitude, Eugenie.”
