An imperial emerald diamond necklace of the former House of Baden.


The imperial jeweller Nitot & Fils has made in 1806 this necklace of gold and silver.
Seven large briolett-cut emerald drops are hanging from this classical necklace of seven step-cut emeralds with a diamond cluster surround.
Small, single emeralds and diamonds are connecting on a length of 41 cm the emerald-clusters to a flexible garland – it is an ideal type of a necklace of the Napoléonic period.

The necklace is supplemented with a pair of matching pendant-earrings with tops of emeralds with a diamond cluster surround and drop-shaped pendants with a large free swinging briolett-cut emerald in its centres.

About 1820 the two briolett-cut emeralds of the back have been removed and are changed to two facetted emeralds. It might be, that the detached emeralds were given as a present or are left as a Napoléonic heirloom.


This magnificent parure of the Empire period was in the possession of the former Grand Duchess Stéphanie of Baden, who was born as Stéphanie Louise Adrienne de Beauharnais in August, 28th 1789 in Versailles as the daughter of the Capitain de Beauharnais.
Her mother died two years later and her father has shown no interest in his two years old daughter.
The little Stéphanie has spent her early childhood and youth at different places in the care of several persons.

In 1803, Stéphanie attracted the attention of Napoléon and he has ordered her to come to Paris. She has preserved an ethical education and became an instrument of the politics of Napoléon. When he want to married her at the court of Baden, she was adopted by Napoléon and Joséphine, from now on, as being a “Bonaparte”.


These emeralds have been not the only present which Princess Stéphanie of Baden were given for her marriage.
The emerald parure was consisting of a large tiara, a necklace, a pair of earrings and most probably of a pair of bracelets which can be seen on the portrait of François Gérard (c. 1810).


Stéphanie has received two more parures, one with pearls and one with diamonds. Napoléon has paid only for the jewellery the sum of FF 500.000. Furthermore she brought with her a dowry of another FF 500.000 and a sum of FF 1.500.000 to Baden.Danke an Uwe Ripka für seine Hilfe und Übersetzung des Textes!


The next owner of the necklace and the earrings was her daughter, the Duchess of Hamilton. Marie Elisabeth of Baden.

 

 

DOWAGER DUCHESS OF HAMILTON| Princess Marie Elisabeth of Baden

Various reminiscences of illustrious people are conjured up by the recent death of the Dowager Duchess of Hamilton, Princess Mary of Baden.

The Princess, who was born on October 11, 1817, was married at the age of 26 to the Duke of Hamilton, one of the personal friends of Louis Napoleon. When the Prince-President became Emperor, the Duke purchased a magnificent mansion in the Faubourg Saint-Germain.

The Duchess of Hamilton was one of the most welcome guests at the Tuileries, and while she avoided to a considerable extent the more ostentatious gatherings of the Imperial Court, she was a constant attendant at the Empress’s small teas and at the intimate family reunions at St. Cloud.

When her husband, the Duke of Hamilton, died suddenly on leaving the Maison Dorée on the Boulevards in 1863, the Duchess retired altogether from the brilliant life of the Court.

There were many reasons why the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton were personæ gratissimæ at the Tuileries during the dazzling days of the Imperial régime. The Duke was indeed a trusted friend of Louis Napoleon, but his wife was the daughter of the Emperor’s favourite aunt.

The Dowager Duchess of Hamilton, who has just died, was in fact one of the children of Stéphanie Louise Adrienne de Beauharnais, Vicomtesse de Beauharnais, the adopted daughter of Napoleon I, who in April 1806 married the Grand Duke of Baden.

On the death of Queen Hortense in 1837, it was the Grand Duchess Stéphanie who watched with maternal solicitude over young Louis Napoleon. Of his filial familiarity towards his aunt, an amusing anecdote is told by the Vicomte de Beauchêne, who knew the Grand Duchess well. Prince Louis, his aunt, and the vicomte were playing whist one evening. The Prince, losing, prepared to leave the room without paying the Grand Duchess.

“I call you to witness,” said the Duchess to M. de Beauchêne, “that he is going away in my debt.”

“Never mind, aunt,” returned the Prince; “you shall get your money when I am Emperor.”

At this the Duchess remarked to the vicomte: “Prince Louis is always joking,” little thinking at the time that her nephew was destined one day to repay her with interest.

It was the Grand Duchess Stéphanie who represented Queen Josephine of Sweden and Norway at the baptism of the young Prince Imperial, later killed in Zululand. Cardinal Patrizzi acted as sponsor on behalf of Pope Pius IX at the same christening.

The Dowager Duchess of Hamilton, who has just died, although she did not reside in the French capital, was a great benefactress to its poor.

Her grandson, Prince Louis of Monaco—whose mother, Lady Mary Victoria Douglas Hamilton, after her divorce from Prince Albert of Monaco, married Count Festetics of Vienna—is now completing his studies at the Collège Stanislas, the famous Jesuit establishment in Paris. He was a great favourite of his grandmother and frequently spent his holidays with her in Baden.

 

 

WILL OF THE LATE DUCHESS OF HAMILTON

The late Duchess of Hamilton and Chatelherault, Marie Elisabeth of Baden, Dowager Duchess, who died on the 17th October 1888 at Baden, left the following dispositions in her will:

“I commend my soul to Almighty God and His mercy.”

The testatrix constitutes as universal heiress her daughter Victoria, Countess Tassilo Festetics, to whom she bequeaths all her estates in Baden, Switzerland, and England; her inheritance of Brunswick; 250,000 marks; her inheritance of 250,000 francs; the proceeds of the sale of her house in the Rue de Paris; and £28,355 held in the hands of Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar and Mr. Charles Gore.

By codicils, the testatrix recorded certain diamonds, pearls, emeralds, and turquoises as left to her daughter, and also bequeathed a necklace of eight rows of pearls, to be worn by her daughter during her lifetime, and upon her death to be given to the testatrix’s granddaughter and god-daughter, Countess Mary Festetics, “from her grandmother, who loved her tenderly, and whom I hope she will never forget.”

The estate of Maccia-Holden in the Canton of St. Gall is given to Prince Louis of Monaco. The Swiss cottage at Baden is left to the Duke of Hamilton, to whom the testatrix also bequeaths the portrait of her cousin, the Emperor Napoleon III, and the Empress, painted by Winterhalter.

Legacies are made to Queen Carola of Saxony, to other special god-children, and to relatives and friends of the testatrix. She also leaves 6,000 marks to her banker at Baden, pensions to her menservants, and £40 a year for life to her maid, with bequests to her other servants as well.

The personal estate of the late Duchess has been sworn at £6,452.
