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Before being being moved to Fontainebleau, this throne was originally made for Napoleon’s throne room at the Château de Saint-Cloud.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.
