Provenance

Service called "des Fleurs" ordered by King Louis-Philippe for the Pavillon de Breteuil on June 26, 1846, then delivered in two stages in 1847.

History

The pavilion, located in the park of the Château de Saint-Cloud, was the residence of the Count of Montalivet, general intendant of the King's Civil List, several times Minister of the Interior and close to Louis-Philippe, between 1842 and 1848.

This service, described as "white background, groups of colored flowers" has the distinction of being the only multi-lobed table of the King, reminiscent of Louis XV period services in Sèvres.
