Apsley House

Grateful European rulers heaped titles and precious gifts on the victorious Wellington, including the extraordinary Egyptian dining table centrepiece. A label said it was 6.7 metres in length. I doubt if the Duke would have approved of metric measurements, as opposed to imperial, being used in HIS home. The scale model of the Egyptian Temple complex at Luxor, rendered in porcelain bisque, was commissioned from the Sèvres factory as a present from a guilty Napoleon to his former wife Josephine, whom he had dumped for wife number two when Josephine proved to be barren. Josephine turned down the extravagant present, perhaps deciding it was tad too flamboyant for a woman who was no longer an Empress. Apsley House 31
