Detail of Napoleon’s throne at the Château de Fontainebleau, created around 1804-1808.
Made by François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter, based on the designs of Percier and Fontaine.
According the American travel writer, Rick Steves, Napoleon’s throne room at Fontainebleau is the only French throne room with its original furniture that has survived.
Before being being moved to Fontainebleau, this throne was originally made for Napoleon’s throne room at the Château de Saint-Cloud. The entire palace was burned down in 1870, and completely demolished in 1891. It was never rebuilt.

Benvenuto Cellini (Italian, 1500-1571) • The Nymph of Fontainebleau • c. 1543 • Bronze relief
Commissioned by Francis I, the Nymph of Fontainebleau is a larger-than-lifesize bronze plaque showing a reclining Diana from Greek/Roman mythology. Diana was a huntress and so an ideal subject for the French king who was a passionate hunter of forest game. The nude goddess has a massive stag with huge antlers looking over her shoulder while at the sides of the piece are deer, wild boars, and hunting dogs. The sculpture was originally meant to sit above the entrance gate of the Palace of Fontainebleau, hence its misleading name, but the king never got around to having it installed. When Henry II of France became king (r. 1547-1559 CE), he decided the sculpture was more suitable for a hunting lodge and so gave it to his mistress Diane de Poitiers (1499-1566 CE) for her home, the Chateau d'Anet, south of Paris. Today, the sculpture is in the Louvre museum in Paris.
