Because of threats to their lives, the royal family felt they must escape. The Queen wants  to take her \"necessaire\", one of her favourite items. Through her first attendant, Madame Campan, she commissioned, in April 1791, an identical set on the pretext of making it a gift to her sister Archduchess Marie-Christine, Governor of the Netherlands.

This will result in a denunciation from his maid, suspecting that he was planning and assisting the Tuileries fleeing: \"we thought she would not guess the reason for sending the necessaire of the Queen in Brussels, but [\u2026] the announcement of a present made by Her Majesty to her sister was only a pretext \u201d.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMus\u00e9e Internationale de la Parfumeries, Grasse, \"Aigui\u00e8re\", in PALMA Jean-Philippe, cabinetmaker ; CHARPENAT Jean-Pierre, goldsmith ; H\u00c9NIN & Cie, goldsmith ; TAFFOIREAU H., goldsmith ; Manufacture d'Outrequin de Montarcy \u2013 \"Coffret, n\u00e9cessaire\" \u2013 Paris, 1791-early 20th century.<br \/>\nThis necessaire was for a time exposed at Marie-Antoinette's apartments at the Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles<br \/>\nMus\u00e9e du Louvre, Paris, \"Aigui\u00e8re\", in JOUBERT Fran\u00e7ois, goldsmith ; CHARPENAT Jean-Pierre, goldsmith ; LETHIEN, knifemaker ; PALMA Jean-Philippe, cabinetmaker \u2013 Marie-Antoinette's travel kit \u2013 Paris, 1787-1788.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nBibliography:<br \/>\n\u2022 Madame Campan, M\u00e9moires de Madame Campan, premi\u00e8re femme de chambre de Marie-Antoinette, 1988.<br \/>\n\u2022 Marie-Antoinette ; Seth, Catriona, edition presented by, Lettres in\u00e9dites, Albin Michel, 2019"}],"tags":"Silver","gallery":[{"image":{"ID":216809,"id":216809,"title":"111_415","filename":"415.jpg","filesize":4477673,"url":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415.jpg","link":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/lot\/jarro-2103177784\/111_415\/","alt":"","author":"5529","description":"","caption":"","name":"111_415","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":215427,"date":"2021-11-04 18:42:29","modified":"2021-11-04 18:42:31","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":3160,"height":4740,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415.jpg","medium-width":200,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":1152,"large":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415.jpg","large-width":683,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415.jpg","2048x2048-width":1365,"2048x2048-height":2048,"v_medium":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415-640x960.jpg","v_medium-width":640,"v_medium-height":960,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":200,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":300,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":267,"gform-image-choice-md-height":400,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/415.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":400,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":600}},"is_video":false,"video_source":"","video_id":"","use_video_thumbnail":true}],"auction_session":"2"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lot\/215428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lot"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lot"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
