| Description |
Français : Trône destiné à Napoléon Ier pour les séances du Corps législatif. L'imposant fauteuil, bordé de deux impressionnantes chimères ailées à tête de lion en guise d'accoudoirs, est surmonté d'un fronton cintré sur lequel a été sculptée une couronne de laurier enrubanné. Sur le dossier figurent les symboles de la justice (glaive et main de justice) et, sur l'assise, une grande rosace à fleurons, avec palmes. Emblème de l'autorité politique, ce siège a subi d'importantes modifications au cours des changements de régime : sous la Restauration, les deux aigles impériales sommant les montants ont été remplacées par deux pommes de pin stylisées. De même, le chiffre N inscrit au centre de la couronne de laurier sur le fronton a disparu.
English: This throne was intended for Napoleon I to sit on during the sessions of the Legislative Body created by the Constitution of the Year VIII. An arched pediment sculpted with a beribboned laurel crown surmounts the imposing hair, with a pair of impressive winged, lion-headed chimera as elbow-rests. The backrest features the symbols of justice (a sword and the hand of justice), the seat a large rosette with flowers buds and palms. During the Restoration, stylised pinecones replaced the two imperial eagles crowning the uprights and the «N» for Napoleon in the centre of the pediment's laurel crown disappeared. |
