Provenance
Service described as "pale green background, polychrome flower cartels on black background, central rosettes and
ornaments printed in gold", ordered by King Louis-Philippe for the castle of Eu in
January 1836 for 60 place settings, it will be increased several times in October 1842, August 1844,
June 1847 and July 1848, before being delivered after the fall of the King to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs in March 1852. Paid out of his own personal coffers, the King did not count on his
favorite summer residence that was the castle of Eu. One only has to compare the selling price of the
plates of this service: 45 francs, the palm of the most expensive service in proportion. One
it was found at the family table at the time of the stays of Orleans at the seaside, but it was also used
but it was also used for official visits, such as those of Queen Victoria in 1843 and 1845.
