This liturgical vestment was given to Notre Dame by Napoleon III (1852-1870) on the occasion of the baptism of his son, Luis Napoléon Bonaparte. The gold brocade on white satin with a pattern of pomegranate flowers had been commissioned at the request of Queen Marie-Amélie de Bourbon, the wife of King Louis-Philippe (183-1848), almost twenty years earlier, in 1837, from the Lyon manufacturer Grand Frères.
