He was elected senator for the Somme in January 1936 and was one of those who voted to give full power to Marshal P�tain on 10 July 1940. de Berny did not return to government after the Second World War.

The H�tel de Berny Museum includes 18th century tapestries and wood carvings such as those from the La Fayette salon in the ch�teau de La Grange-Bl�neau and those by the Huet brothers Nicolas Fran�ois and Jean-Baptiste the Younger the three sons of Jean-Baptiste Huet and Adrien Choquet a painter from Abbeville from the Salon du Zodiaque in the Long ch�teau as well as Art nouveau and Art d�co ceramics by Monti�res French Revolution-era fa�ence paintings by Louis Jean Fran�ois Lagren�e and Isabey a 1612 harpsichord pastels by Choderlos de Laclos and 16th-20th century ironwork and clocks. It also contains objects relating to figures from local and national history such as Gresset Choderlos de Laclos Jules Verne �douard Branly and Mar�chal Leclerc. G�rard de Berny's father Charles Philippe Gabriel de Berny 1825-1884 was married to Laure de Berny n�e Louise Antoinette Laure Hinner 1777-1836. "In 1793 aged only fifteen Laure married Gabriel de Berny but their union was unhappy. He was 20 years old quite reserved and cold whereas his young wife was very sensitive warm-hearted and caring. Despite their differences they still managed to have nine children although five died in infancy and only two survived their mother. In 1815 the family bought a house in Villeparisis in northern France where they spent the summers. It was here that Laure first met Honore De Balzac. Laure was 42 at the time and already a grandmother but this didn't stop the young Balzac he was only 22 from falling in love with her. At first she resisted him but Balzac wouldn't give up. He courted her for months and in the end she gave in. The two become lovers. Of course nothing could remain secret for long in a small town. When Balzac's parents learned of it they tried to break off their scandalous relationship but to no avail. Laure wasn't just Balzac's lover. She was his confidante his muse and his benefactress. She gave him the love security and confidence he hadn't received from his parents as a child she supported his literary career she inspired the characters of Madame de Mortsauf in The Lily In The Valley and Pauline in Louis Lambert and helped him out financially when he needed it. She assisted him in his business ventures which always failed and helped him pay his debts. "La Dilecta" as Balzac called her also told him many stories about the ancient regime and of how some of her aristocratic friends and acquaintances managed to escape death during the Revolution while others weren't so lucky. His royalist principles would be strongly confirmed by Laure's influence and it's from her he also acquired his aristocratic longings. Thanks to her help he also managed to meet several influential people and would sometimes make an appearance in high society. Balzac would also talk to her about his relationship with other women such as Madame de Hanska who he would end up marrying a few months before his death. Laure De Berny died on 27th July 1836 at La Bouleauni�re her country house at Grez-sur-Loing. Balzac was in Italy at the time but when he returned he visited her grave." historyandotherthoughts.blogspot.com. Ren� Kieffer 1875-1964 worked for ten years at the famed Chambolle-Duru bindery in Paris specializing in gilding before establishing his own workshop in 1903. He debuted at the 1903 Salon des Artistes Fran�cais and evolving toward to more modern approach became a disciple of the great Marius-Michel. At the time of this binding's creation he had begun to incorporate a transitional mix of flowers vines and colorful onlays in rather formal compositions their Art Nouveau motifs retained within symmetrical borders that revealed his classical roots. By the end of World War I he had emerged as one of Paris's leading binders his work sought after by collectors his fine workmanship matched by a wide range of progressive designs. Before La Peau de Chagrin first published in 1831 was completed Balzac created excitement about it by publishing a series of articles and story fragments in several Parisian journals. Although he was five months late in delivering the manuscript he succeeded in generating sufficient interest that the novel sold out instantly upon its publication. A second edition which included a series of twelve other "philosophical tales" was released one month later. Although the novel uses fantastic elements its main focus is a realistic portrayal of the excesses of nineteenth century Parisian bourgeois materialism. Balzac's renowned attention to detail is used to describe a gambling house an antique shop a royal banquet and other locales. He also includes details from his own life as a struggling writer placing the main character in a home similar to the one he occupied at the start of his literary career. The central theme of La Peau de Chagrin is the conflict between desire and longevity. The magic skin represents the owner's life-force which is depleted through every expression of will especially when it is employed for the acquisition of power. Ignoring a caution from the shopkeeper who offers him the skin the protagonist greedily surrounds himself with wealth only to find himself miserable and decrepit at the story's end. La Peau de Chagrin firmly established Balzac as a writer of significance in France. His social circle widened significantly and he was sought eagerly by publishers for future projects. The book served as the catalyst for a series of letters he exchanged with a Polish baroness named Ewelina Ha ska who later became his wife. It also inspired Giselher Klebe's opera Die t�dlichen W�nsche. Carteret Volume III p. 41. <br/><br/> Paris: H. Delloye [&] Victor Lecou, �diteurs, 1838 hardcover
