Antoine-Joseph Sax, better known as Adolphe Sax, born November 6, 1814 in Dinant in Belgium and died February 7, 1894 in Paris, is a Belgian musical instrument maker, best known for having invented the saxophone and the saxhorn.<\/p>\n

The mounted squadron of the Hundred Guards, commonly called \u00ab\u00a0the Hundred Guards\u00a0\u00bb, had four parade trumpets. Eight flames including four spares were ordered to equip them. (There was no drummer in this mounted squadron.)<\/p>\n

The serial number 12421 dates the manufacture from 1854, i.e. at the time of the creation of this squadron by Emperor Napoleon III.<\/p>\n

In an exceptional state of preservation, it is the only trumpet from the Hundred Guards squadron which has reached us complete in its original condition.<\/p>\n

(Another is in a private collection, but does not have its original, very special mouthpiece, the bowl of which has wide, flat edges for playing on horseback. The other trumpets or banners listed are all incomplete.)<\/p>\n

Provenance: Bernoulli collection, (Switzerland) then Debaecker collection (France).<\/p>\n
