Silver-lined metal Diameter: 31.8 cm Little known, this silverware service used in the various residences of the last French king, including the Château d'Eu*, bears witness to the hesitations of the new monarch to assert himself as a sovereign, but also to the heraldic choices made at the beginning of his reign, which did not last.
