"French Horn / 1826-1827 (made) / Artist/Maker: Raoux, Marcel-Auguste (designer and maker) / Place Of Origin: Paris (made) ", "Summary: This French horn was made by Marcel-Auguste Raoux (1795–1871), who produced prize-winning horns and performed in the band of the French Imperial Guard and orchestra of the Théâtre Italien in Paris. The Raoux family were one of France’s leading makers of brass instruments and had enjoyed royal patronage from 1690 onwards. This instrument is made for a left-handed player and originally belonged to Giovanni Puzzi (1797–1876) an Italian-born virtuoso, whose career flourished in both Paris and London. He could boast of having been employed by both Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington, and this horn was said to have been presented to him by the King of France, most likely Charles X (reigned 1826–1830). / On loan to the Horniman Museum.
