Le Dernier Sacre

ISBN: 979-10-96561-54-4 55,92 

On September 16, 1824, King Louis XVIII passed away after long weeks of illness. The sacre of his successor Charles X took place eight months later, on May 29, 1825, in Reims. It was a grand ceremony.

From April 11 to July 20, 2025, the Mobilier national will recount this event as part of an exhibition curated by Stéphane Bern, with scenography assistance from Jacques García. We are publishing the catalog book that allows you to discover the preparations, costumes, carriage, decorations, ceremony, feast, diplomatic gifts, official commissions, and period merchandise… This reference work on the subject brings the experience to life as if you had been invited to assist.
