Fontainbleau bicorne ashtray

150 USD

After becoming emperor, Napoleon refurbished the Château de Fontainebleau, making it a grand imperial residence, which he preferred over Versailles. He transformed and used many of the existing rooms for his personal use. In 1810, the chapel was used for the baptism of his nephew, the future Napoleon III. That same year, he issued The Fontainebleau Decree—a significant policy aimed at enforcing the Continental System by increasing penalties for smuggling. 

After his defeat, Napoleon was forced to take refuge at Fontainebleau, signing his abdication there on April 11, 1814, officially ending his rule. On April 20, 1814, Napoleon gave his famous farewell speech to the Old Guard in the Courtyard of Honor before being exiled to Elba.

Fontainbleau

At the turn of the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte sought more than military conquest—he sought a visual language equal to his imperial ambitions. Enter Charles Percier and Pierre François Léonard Fontaine, architects whose mastery of antiquity and modern invention birthed Empire Style: an aesthetic of symmetry and splendor, where eagles and sphinxes, bees and laurel wreaths, proclaimed the grandeur of a new Rome. Together, they transformed palaces (like that of Fontainebleau and Malmaison), interiors, and even furniture into instruments of power, their designs as theatrical as they were enduring.

ORIGINS — SPRING 2015

As we mark ten years of Jacques Marie Mage, we return to where it all began: the nascent sparks, the first bold forms, the foundational silhouettes that set our course. With Origins, the inaugural offering from Réserve by JMM, we invite you to rediscover the earliest expressions of our ethos—limited-edition spectacles from the first season of the Circa Collection, which consisted of exactly four styles: the Dealan, Zephirin, Hatfield, And Fountainebleau.

Each Reserve collectible is thoughtfully custom-packaged to Jacques Marie Mage standards, with tailored care to each artifact. Each collectible is accompanied by a JMM Certificate of Authenticity and ID card.
