Emperors tableware from St. Helena
Martin-Guillaume Biennais (knife) and Louis Nicolas Somm (cutlery) -
To keep up his spirits, Napolon dined formally most evenings with his friends and their wives. Despite their remote exile, they initially ate well on St. Helena. Later, when the English informed him they were reducing his food budget from 20,000 to 12,000 pounds a year, he was outraged. Low on funds, Napolon had basketsful of his silver service hammered down and sold to raise money for his table. He would do this three times in all, making these pieces all the rarer.
