Summary/Abstract: In three letters, stored in the State Archives of Sigmaringen, King Carol I (Charles I) of Romania mentions the presents offered on Christmas day to his parents and elder brother (prince Karl-Anton and princess Josephine of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and, respectively, Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen). The pieces gifted to his family are vessels copied (by Paul Telge) after the renowned Late Antiquity gold treasure of Pietroasa. In one letter Carol I wrote about the similar pieces offered to Franz Joseph I, the Austro-Hungarian emperor.
