I join Janet in her response. It is fascinating the Duke of Polignac! Thank you for introducing me to a tiara I have never seen previously.
Do you know if the jewels in the Museum were purchased, or were they claimed by the government at some stage?
I agree with Janet, the current configuration seems less than ideal, even though the tiara is mounted on a base which would raise it above all but the most voluminous of hairstyles.
All the pieces in this museum were confiscated after the proclimation of the monarchy.
There is a rumor that there is still boxes in the central banks that is filled with the rest of the jewellery collection but there is no full record of the pieces only the number of boxes and there has been manipulation in it as some of the boxes were tampered with and some were missing so no one wants to take the responsibilty of opening it and say what is missing.
