A CHATEAU IN ALSACE - FROM EUGENIE DE COËHORN TO PRINCESSES IRENE AND NATHALIE BAGRATION
Eugénie de Coëhorn is the last of one of Alsace's oldest families. Originating in Sweden in 1012, then in Flanders from 1300, the Coëhorns settled in France under Louis XIV.
One of the family's most illustrious soldiers, Louis-Jacques, General Baron de Coëhorn, commanded the Strasbourg garrison and bought a handsome château near Strasbourg, which remains in the family to this day, and from which most of the objects on display today originate (including the large armoire dated 1706 and some fine furniture typical of 18th-century Alsatian production).
Highly esteemed by Napoleon, this Empire general, shown here in a miniature, was nicknamed the "Alsatian Bayard". He died gloriously of his wounds at the Battle of Leipzig.
His son Eugène was a member of parliament for Alsace. His grandson, Eugénie's father, married Marie, from another great Alsatian family, whose mother was Tascher de La Pagerie (Empress Eugénie's family). So there are a few souvenirs of the Beauharnais cousins in our sale.
The pastel portrait of Eugénie by Jane Daniéla Montchenu-Lavirotte, recalls the grand train she led on this Alsatian estate; she ��vokes her travels "in elegant crew with coachman in postilion livery".
Later, in an album of photographs, we see her aboard a Bugatti for a princely wedding in Sicily.
Through successive alliances, the Bagration family is also represented by a few mementos of Princesses Irène and Nathalie, which take us back to the oldest European family, the Bagrations having been sovereigns of Georgia since time immemorial.
