There a new funerary monument for Louis was to be built, likewise housing the furnishings from the interior of Louis´s former funerary chapel. Possibly included among these items was the present elk antler. See I. Bardiès, `Sarcophage de Louis de Pieux´, in I. Bardiès, F. Heber-Suffrin and P.-É.

Philippe Antoine Paguet died childless, leaving his collection to the children of his niece, Marie Charlotte, daughter of his sister, Elisabeth Charlotte. Marie Charlotte (1803-1885) married Dominique François Victor Colchen (d. 1867) in 1826. Together they lived on the Place des Charrons in Metz. The couple´s son, Marie Etienne Léon Colchen (1837-?), was designated as Paguet´s universal heir. Upon entering the Dominican order, however, he was obliged to relinquish his right of inheritance, which then was reassigned to his sister, Caroline Barbe. It was ultimately her husband, Jacques-Paul Carré de Malberg, whom she had married in 1849, who organized the sale of Paguet´s collection at Drouot after the death of his father-in-law in 1867.
