Sevres – Olympic Service

Made in 1805-1806, the ‘Service Olympique’ was comprised of 140 pieces including 68 plates. In addition, the service was also supplied with a cabaret and a table centrepiece. The figures were painted by Georget and Madame Jacquotot, the ornaments by Depérais and the gilding was by Constans and Boullemier. 2 deliveries to the Tuileries were made, one in August 1807 and another a month later. On 8th July Napoleon had signed the treaty of Tilsit with Czar Alexander I of Russia, and the service was to be presented to the Czar as a token of goodwill. But before doing this, Napoleon used the first delivery for his brother’s wedding celebrations.
