NEY (MARSHAL MICHEL) PAIRE DE GANTS REPUTES AVOIR ETE PORTES PAR LE MARECHAL NEY PENDANT LA RETRAITE DE RUSSIEPAIR OF GLOVES REPUTEDLY WORN BY MARSHAL NEY DURING THE RETREAT FROM RUSSIA In brown calf, unlined, bearing two paper labels with stamps from the Bernard Franck Collection, one with manuscript note 'Gants ayant appartenu au Mal. Ney', the other with the reference number '467', worn and marked, some stitching coming loose, length 285mm., cuff 140mm. wide, palm 102mm., [early nineteenth-century]; with notes of provenance held in a leather attaché caseFootnotes:Provenance: Marshal Michel Ney (1769-1815); Colonel Jean-Baptiste Esménard (1771-1842); Bernard Franck (1848-1924); by descent to his son; André Levi Collection (according to handwritten notes included in the lot)THE 'BLOOD-STAINED' GLOVES OF MARSHAL NEY, NAPOLEON'S 'BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE' WITH PROVENANCE FROM THE BERNARD FRANCK COLLECTION.Dubbed by Napoleon, 'the bravest of the brave', Michel Ney (1769-1815) rose from humble beginnings to be one of Napoleon's eighteen marshals of the Empire. A veteran of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, he took command of the III Corps of La Grande Armée into Russia in April 1812 and distinguished himself at the battle of Borodino where he led his men into battle in full dress uniform. Once given the order to retreat, Ney, despite under pressure to surrender, managed to guide his troops over the frozen River Dnieper and repulsed attacks by Cossack forces, much to Napoleon's relief: '...'At last, I have saved my eagles! I have three hundred millions in francs at the Tuileries. I'd give up the lot to save Ney. What a soldier... truly the bravest of the brave!'...' (Horricks, Raymond, Military Politics from Bonaparte to the Bourbons: The Life and Death of Michel Ney, New Brunswick, 1995, p.139). His heroic command of the rear-guard led to the legend that he was the last Frenchman to leave Russia, fighting all the way.According to handwritten notes of provenance with the lot, the gloves were purchased by a M. Levi from Bernard Franck's son when his father's collection was dispersed. Franck, a veteran of the Franco-Prussian war and wealthy industrialist, amassed a vast collection of items from the Napoleonic period, including portrait miniatures, militaria and a world-famous collection of Carnets de Bal which was sold to J.P. Morgan in 1910. A slip from an auction catalogue, bearing the lot number 96, is also amongst the notes ('...Une paire de gants... au Maréchal Ney... avec mot autograph de Monsieur Andre Levi...'), and a note written in blue biro titled 'Declaration Levi' confirms that Franck purchased the gloves direct from the house of Colonel Esménard, along with a number of other articles belonging to the Marshal such as crosses, boxes and items of clothing, speculating 'The gloves are said to have been worn by Ney during the Russian campaign, and the spots could be traces of blood'.Captain Esménard was indeed Ney's Aide-de-Camp but did not serve with him in the Russian campaign. He had served on Ney's staff in the Peninsula and, at the time of the retreat from Russia, was languishing in a Paris prison, where he had been since 1810 for his alleged involvement in a royalist plot, only to be released on Napoleon's first abdication in 1814. However, a letter from Ney dated April 1813, just months after the retreat from Moscow, indicates that Esménard was still held in high esteem, writing to the Finance Minister, the Duce de Gaète to request a position in the Inspectorate of Taxes for his erstwhile Aide-de-Camp in recognition of his 'distinguished service' and 'obvious talents' (see Maggs catalogue 1477, no.78). It is therefore conceivable that he could have been presented with the gloves in the years between the retreat from Russia and Ney's death in 1815.

Its first live outing with Mott The Hoople was at the Pier Pavilion, Felixstowe, 3rd July that year. Its second was at the now-infamous concert at the Royal Albert Hall on 8th July. Mott were booked to play two nights at the prestigious venue but their 'over-enthusiastic' fans caused such damage to the Hall that the second night was cancelled. In March 1972, following this and disturbances from other bands' audiences, the venue decided to ban all rock concerts. However, the ban was short-lived.This Hammond featured in every Mott live concert, excluding those in the USA, and on all studio recordings – including the top-three charting UK single and band's fifth, breakthrough album, All The Young Dudes - until Verden left the group in January 1973. It was then used for various projects over the years before being back in the spotlight for Mott's 40th anniversary reunion concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo in October 2009 and the five-date tour in November 2013.The Hammond C3 organ is identifiable by its walled slides and sleeker, angular cabinet style. The internal components are otherwise largely identical to the earlier B3 model. The Eagle-shaped fitting to the back of the organ was bought by Verden in the early 1970's to cover a small hole to the organ casing. It was acquired from a militaria shop called 'Call To Arms' in London's Camden Passage, run by Chris Farlowe (who reached number 1 in the charts with the Jagger/Richards composition Out of Time in 1966).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
