Lot Essay

Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord (1754-1838) was the first Prince of Talleyrand. He worked at the highest levels of successive French governments, most notably as Napoleon’s chief minister. He purchased Château de Valençay in 1803 upon Napoleon's instruction, where he lived until his death in 1838. The Château remained in the direct family until 1952, whereupon it was passed from the last Prince to his stepson. The Château was subsequently sold in 1979.
