Emir Abdelkader returns to torment the relationship between Paris and Algiers. The Algerian president made the restitution of certain objects that belonged to the emir a condition of his state visit to France.
Henri d'Orléans, recognized as one of the greatest collectors of his time, kept certain of the Emir's effects at his home, at the Chantilly Palace, transformed according to his wishes into a museum. Other effects of theEmir are scattered in other museums in France, but also in Turkey and Syria, where he died in 1883.
