<p>[QUOTE="FriscoP60, post: 108318, member: 1545"]As far as going all out: Charles X hired Cahier to make the liturgical objects for his coronation, also. From what I understand, he was intent on having just as lavish a ceremony as Napoleon I. And yet, as we know from the display in the Reims, the CHURCH objects for that ceremony were all gilded silver (while the objects related to the crown were executed in solid gold).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
