Napoleon’s Hat Auctioned Off
拿破仑帽子开拍
An iconic felt hat worn by Napoleon Bonaparte was auctioned off in Paris on Sunday. The French emperor’s hat, which he always wore sideways in order to be recognized on the battlefield, sold for 2 million dollars to a collector from South Korea. The highest bid was about five times more than expected. Other items from the collection, including Napoleon’s scarf and stockings, were also sold in the auction. The items belonged to Monaco’s royal family. The family’s goal was to raise money for palace renovations.
周日,一顶由拿破仑·波拿巴所戴过的毡帽在巴黎开拍。这位法国国王总是在战场上侧戴帽子,这样他能够被一眼认出,来自韩国的收藏家以200万美金的价格拍得。最高拍价大约是预计价格的五倍。其他藏品包括拿破仑的围巾和长袜。这些事物属于摩纳哥皇室。他们的目的是为了给宫殿翻修筹集资金。
