Summary[edit]

Cocked hat, France, 1790-1831
Title
Cocked hat, France, 1790-1831
Description

This hat was worn by a military surgeon in the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-15) in which Napoleon Bonaparte attempted, unsuccessfully, to build an Empire in Europe.

It was part of a colourful uniform with plenty of braid, buttons and buckles which would have become very unhygienic in the course of a military campaign. The brass medal on the front of the cocked beaver hat shows a snake coiled around a rod – the traditional symbol of medicine associated with Asklepios, the Greek and Roman god of healing.

maker: Le Conte La Fosse

Place made: Metz, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Lorraine, France
