Item Description

The Ultimate 1814–1880 French Nobility Master Archive: The Baron Saillard de Boisberthe Estate Ledger

For your consideration is a truly remarkable, museum-grade 19th-century French aristocratic family archive. Consisting of over 30 pages of dense, continuous handwritten records and historical social ephemera, this collection completely maps out the vast wealth, industrial real estate empires, legal structures, and high-society marriages of the Baron Saillard de Boisberthe lineage in Normandy.

Unlike typical loose legal scraps, this is a fully intact, sequential historical dossier tracking an aristocratic family estate from its ancestral foundations under the Bourbon Restoration, through mid-century courthouse bidding wars, to its final inheritance payouts and a prominent late-century marriage alliance.

## Comprehensive Archive Components

1. The 1814 Precedent & 1851 "Cahier des Charges" Auction Terms Folio

The main cover prominently roots the division in the legal precedent of the "Majeurs de 1814" during the first Bourbon Restoration. This extensive, bound book of terms sets up the forced public auction (vente par licitation) of the family properties following the death of Dowager Baroness Gratienne Louise Vallée.

• Industrial & Architectural Blueprint: Features meticulous, room-by-room architectural and structural descriptions of the family's grand riverside estate in L'Aigle, the famous operational Usine de la Batterie (Copper Battery Mill) in Saint-Sulpice-sur-Risle (including its water rights, wheels, and machinery), and three massive regional farms (Aulnais, Fortinière, and Godeterie).

2. The 1851 Alençon Civil Court Auction Adjudication Records

The official courthouse follow-up to the terms of sale. These pages document the actual public auction held at the Civil Tribunal of Alençon (Orne), logging the high-society bidding wars, naming the wealthy regional bourgeois buyers, and tracking final sales.

3. The 1852 Final Estate Inheritance & Division Ledger (10 Pages)

The pristine, beautifully bound final financial accounting book that splits the mountain of cash generated from the 1851 auctions.

• Primary Heir: Baron Pierre Rodolphe Gratien Saillard de Boisberthe (Receiver General of Finances for Seine-et-Oise, living in Versailles).

• The Payout: Details the meticulous division of an active asset pool totaling a staggering 258,536 Francs among the Baron and his nieces/nephews. Bound in its original pink legal string.

4. The 1880 High-Society Calligraphy Marriage Announcement (Faire-Part)

The perfect multi-generational crown jewel of the archive. A massive-format announcement printed with breathtaking, deeply raised copperplate calligraphy typography in Le Puy (Haute-Loire).

• Documents the marriage of the grandson, Baron Olivier Saillard du Boisberthe, to Mademoiselle Marie Anne Lepel Cointet (a prominent French banking and cultural dynasty famed for acquiring and preserving the ruins of the Abbaye de Jumièges in Normandy).
