Dress uniform jacket belonging to Major General Prince Eugene, ca. 1812
From the Chateau de Malmaison Costume Collection app:
“Prince Eugene was the oldest son of Josephine and Alexandre de Beauharnais. He was appointed viceroy of Italy by Napoleon. This major general’s full dress jacket, embroidered at the neck, on the facings, lapels and flaps with oak leaves and acorns closes with seven gold buttons decorated with a trophy of arms. At each shoulder there is a bar and button designed to carry epaulettes which are now lost. At the lower back, there is a garland finishing in a grenade framed by two wings and surmounted by a flame and lightning. A yellow paper label has been sewn into the lining with a brown ink inscription stating ‘jacket worn by Prince Eugene in Russia’; this would have been in 1812 when he was commanding the Italian, French and Bavarian troops of the 4th Army Corps.”
