BIENS NATIONAUX. - Décret de la Convention nationale du 10 juin 1793, l'an second de la république Françoise, Relatif à la vente du mobilier du Garde-meuble national & de la ci-devant Liste civile. Paris, De l'Imprimerie nationale exécutive du Louvre, 1793. Leaflet in-4, 16 pages.
First edition of the decree that authorized the sale of national furniture and its export abroad; one of the great errors of the French Revolution.
The sale of the "sumptuous furniture of the last tyrants of France" was to be used to finance "the defense of liberty & the increase of national prosperity": tapestries, mirrors, furniture, etc., but also jewels, diamonds, precious stones and pearls "from religious houses, émigrés and royal houses".
