Compiegne Set- Part I

The Château de Compiègne, a royal residence built for Louis XV and restored by Napoleon. Compiègne was one of three seats of royal government, the others being Versailles and Fontainebleau.

Inspired by The Sims community’s most prominent Empire CC maker @cliffou29 latest set, I set out to finish the room for which he created his beautiful objects. I Created a set of objects & Wallpaper to finish of the Emperors bedroom.

Part I of this set Includes Doors, both open and closed. Arches in two sizes, a Aubusson rug, a wallpaper and matching hidden doors.

The door mesh is made by @felixandresims and can be found HERE. It comes in 7 swatches with 3 variations for each swatch.

The Arch, another one of Felixes creations comes in 6 swatches and two different sizes. The mesh needed, can be found HERE.

The Aubusson Rug comes in a variation of sizes, colours and styles fit for any Empire age palace. The swatch count comes in at 18. Standalone, no mesh needed.

The wallpaper comes in the same swatches as @cliffou29​ furniture, as do the hidden entrances. For the little door, you will need my original hidden passage. Found HERE.

🔑Gold, the blood of palaces. A new serie from my photo archives. - 📌The bedroom of the Empress in the Imperial Palace of Compiègne. Here we find a detail of an sculpture that holds part of the curtain’s canopy: it was designed following the orders of Berthault and executed in 1810 by Jacob-Desmalter. All the room emphasizes in abundance and natality, being this a message for its new occupant, Empress Maria Luisa of Austria.

A letter written by Napoleon to his wife Marie-Louise. Dated 21.3.1810

« Madame, vous m’avez écrit une lettre en date du 12 qui est parfaite come vous. L’assurance des sentiments de votre majesté m’est bien préciuse. Vos expressions ont tout du charme pour moi que je ne cesse de lire vos lettres. Mais comment vous exprimer tout ce que j’éprouve lorsque je lis ces mots. J’ai été à la cérémonie d’hier non sans émotion mais avec tout le calme que donne l’assurance du bonheur. Veuillez madame agréer toute l’expression de la plus vive sensibilité. J’étais arrivé hier à Compiegne. Je vais pendant ces longues journées parcourir la forêt dans tous les sens; mais mon idée sera constamment avec vous madame. Puis je espérer que quelque fois vos pensées vous devancent dans ce palais et que quelque fois vous êtes avec celui qui mets tant de prix à vôtre cœur et à vos sentiments? Permettez-moi madame de mettre mes hommages à vos pieds et de couvrir vos mains de mille tendres baisers. Compiegne 21 mars Vôtre dévoue Napoleon »

“Madam, you wrote me a letter dated the 12th that is perfect like you. The assurance of Your Majesty’s sentiments is very much before me. Your expressions are so charming to me that I keep reading your letters. But how to express to you all that I feel when I read these words. I was at the ceremony yesterday not without emotion but with all the calm that gives the assurance of happiness. Please accept the expression of the greatest sensitivity. I arrived in Compiegne yesterday. I will go through the forest in all directions during these long days; but my idea will be with you constantly, madam. Can I hope that sometimes your thoughts go before you in this palace and that sometimes you are with him who puts so much value on your heart and your feelings? Allow me, madam, to pay my respects at your feet and to cover your hands with a thousand tender kisses. Compiegne 21 march Your devoted Napoleon”

Lafayette’s constant presence at Versailles not only strengthened the alliance between France and the United States, it strengthened Lafayette’s ties to the king, who sought to ass luster to his dull image with Lafayette at his side. Louis was only slightly older than Lafayette, but they had attended riding school together, and shared common interests in history, geography, political science, and military strategy. Despite Lafayette’s radical ideas for social reform, Louis XVI enjoyed his company and invited him constantly to dine and play cards at all his palaces - Versailles, Marly, the Tuileries, Fontainebleau, and Compiegne. Whenever Lafayette broached issues of social reform such as religious toleration for Protestants and manumission, the indecisive king simply sighed and said nothing. The king invited Lafayette to spend three days with him, inaugurating a huge new engineering project to expand the port at Cherbourg. Not only was Lafayette on the royal barge in the harbour, he rode back to Paris with the king in the royal coach - a conspicuous honor usually reserved for heads of state, but one which Louis gladly proffered to “the friend of Washington.” Louis considered Lafayette his personal link to the New World and gave Lafayette three Maltese donkeys and some pheasants and partridges from the royal aviary to send to Washington as a personal gift.

Chateau de Compiegne

I finally got back to actually playing the game instead of just making recolors. I continued work on my baby palace; which is based on the real Chateau de Compiegne. Obviously im taking liberties but most rooms I try to decorate as close as possible.

Reading Treasure: Museum Sunday: Folding stool for Marie Antoinette's gaming room

Marie Antoinette love for gambling has become infamous, and this folding stool, now owned by the Getty Museum, was privy to many games played in Marie Antoinette's apartments at the chateaus de Fontainebleau and Compiegne. This stool was one of 64 ordered for use between the two palaces; they were delivered along with 12 matching fixed leg stools, a folding screen and a fire screen.
