A bottle of 1795 cognac comes on the market, from a place and time of turmoil...

The collection includes a hand-blown six-litre bottle of 1795 Brugerolle cognac believed to have been requisitioned by French revolutionary army officers.

"It is believed this bottle also accompanied Napoleon Bonaparte on his campaigns and is the only one left in the world," Laming said.

On its own, the bottle has an asking price of 138,000 euros, although Van der Bunt is hoping to negotiate a sale for most of the collection as a single lot.
