Coin cabinet. Culture: French, Paris. Decorator: Decoration after drawings by baron Dominique Vivant Denon (French, Givry 1747-1825 Paris). Designer: Designed by Charles Percier (French, Paris 1764-1838 Paris). Dimensions: Overall: 35 1/2 × 19 3/4 × 14 3/4 in. (90.2 × 50.2 × 37.5 cm). Maker: Probably by François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (French, 1770-1841); Silver mounts by Martin-Guillaume Biennais (French, 1764-1843, active ca. 1796-1819). Date: ca. 1809-19. The design, medium, and execution of this extravagant medal cabinet are as impressive and eccentric as the man who probably commissioned it, Napoleon, Emperor of the French (1769-1821), who at the time of its making was a step away from abdication and exile.[1] The first significant contemporary reference to it has been published by Antony Griffiths: "The most interesting record, however, is an account submitted in February 1814 by [the goldsmith] Biennais for 3600 francs, for what is described as the 'médailler du Roi.'" In Biennais's account, Griffiths continues, this medal cabinet for the king is described as "in the form of an Egyptian pedestal, containing 44 mahogany drawers with silver mounts, and meant to serve as a stand for the emperor's old medal cabinet."[2] Napoleon was interested in medals. While campaigning in Egypt in the 1790s, he found a medal of the Roman general Julius Caesar, and in 1803 when he was considering an invasion of England, some coins of William the Conqueror were uncovered at Ambleteuse. Both discoveries were considered extremely propitious.[3] He developed the practice of distributing medals on state occasions to commemorate the high points of his career, and he also had special editions struck in precious metals and sent to foreign allies. The first fully documented owner of this cabinet, Napoleon's Director General of Museums, Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon, was no less an enthusiast. When his estate was sold after his death, three thousand contemporary medals alone we
