On June 17th, 2025, the Furniture & Works of Art department will be auctioning the most ancient and faithful replica of the legendary Queen’s necklace, one of only three versions of it in the world to date.
A symbol of one of the greatest scandals of the Ancien Regime commissioned by Louis XV for his favourite Madame du Barry, became the centerpiece of a famous swindle orchestrated by Jeanne de La Motte, involving Marie-Antoinette without her knowledge. Although she never wore the necklace or took part in this deception, the Queen’s reputation was permanently tarnished by the affair.
Made after the lost original model, this replica comes from the collection of the family of Geneva jeweller Lucien Baszanger (1890-1971), a descendant of de Bassenge.
