About the Item
This pair of busts depicts the former King and Queen of France, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. The busts are crafted from unglazed white porcelain, known as bisque, or biscuit. Each porcelain bust is raised by a gilt bronze base, which supports a porcelain cylindrical podium. The bust of Louis XVI is unadorned and unpainted, while the bust of Marie Antoinette is parcel gilt, her jewellery accented by gold. The busts are exceptionally finely crafted, creating accurate likenesses of the 18th century royals.

In the centre of this stretcher is an ormolu urn decorated with rams heads, four hoof feet and birds on the top. The legs of the table are also ornately decorated with draped garlands and scrolled detailing. The apron is inset with Sèvres style porcelain plaques depicting scenes of cherubs and children in landscapes as well as decorative floral detailing, and is surmounted with laurel leaf mounts. The casket itself is of oval architectural form, and is set on fourteen small feet. It features further porcelain plaques depicting cherubs, musical instruments and a central oval portrait of Queen Marie Antoinette within a crowned gilt cartouche. Her portrait is flanked by two cherubs and is sat within a decorative royal blue border, matching the turquoise colored borders of the other plaques. The reverse of the casket is similarly decorated and features a painted plaque of her husband King Louis XVI. The plaques are separated by mounted ormolu columns decorated with crowns and draped laurel leaves, and each column is surmounted by floral crowns. Each curved side of the casket features an ormolu mask of a female figure, and the hinged lid is surmounted by two reclining female figures wearing draped dresses and holding a central crown.
