Over thirty years of passion for Napoleon and the Empire, Pierre-Jean Chalençon has, through international auction sales, acquired the most precious objects, the rarest relics and the most prestigious works.

Today his collection, which rivals those of the greatest museums, covers the entire life of the Emperor, brings together the major figures who shaped his reign, and stands as an invaluable testament to the craftsmanship of the artisans and artists of the era.

Presenting nearly two hundred objects, this book tells the story of the Empire, its battles, Napoleon's private life, and opens the doors of the Palais Vivienne — the extraordinary Parisian cabinet of curiosities belonging to "the emperor of collectors".
