Probably Chaumet must have details in his archive... I have some information about the ears of wheat for Empress Josephines Jewels. In her inventory of 1804 are 49 ears-of-wheat. Which are later bequeathed to the Family of her son Eugene of Leuchtenberg Beauharnais. I know there are still some of that ears-of-wheat in a part of the family Well I remember, later a tiara was build for Eugenie with ears of wheat ....but not in 1811 ;-)
