Why NAPOLEON’S hat just sold for £1.7 MILLION? #antiques #history #napoleon
£1.7 Million for an antique hat (when you can buy a similar one for a few hundred pounds)
So, Why has Napoleons hat just sold for £1.7 million ?
Did you know he used to wear his hat sideways instead of front to back…he was odd like that, but he he did like to be different!
It’s a bi-corn hat, meaning two corners and it was common in Napoleons time.
Out of interest you can buy a copy of his hat online for a couple of hundred pounds . See pic of lady wearing one …Napoleon style.
But remembers an antiques value has nothing to do with age, or in many cases what it is…it’s all about provenance, it’s history. Its connection to real people long gone. And when a person is as famous as Napoleon, things can go crazy. Owning his hat is the closest the buyer will ever get to meeting the man. And thats why to them, the old hat is worth 1.7 million!
