Veteran Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes it looks very French indeed. Although it does not connect directly with phaleristics. Il is the "Key" which is the badge of office of the Grand Chambellan (British equiv: Lord Chamberlain) as used at the Court of Napoleon I and of Napoleon III his nevew.. I believe it was worn from a chain or a neck ribbon. Quite avidly collected by a few. If it is an original, probably quite valuable. What are the measurements of this particular piece ? Hope this helps.. Best regards Veteran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
