Bourbon monarchs united France and part of the kingdom of Navarre in 1589, ruling both until the French Revolution of 1792. Restored briefly in 1814 and finally in 1815 after the fall of the First French Empire, the senior line of the Bourbons was overthrown again in the July Revolution of 1830. A cadet Bourbon branch, the House of Orléans, then ruled for 18 years (1830–1848), until it too was deposed.Louis Philippe Joseph, Duc de Orléans (1747–1793), known as 'Philippe Égalité' and Louise Marie Adélaïde Penthièvre (1753-1821) were married at the Palace of Versailles in 1769. At the time of their marriage, Marie Adélaïde was the wealthiest heiress in France. The couple were much in love and had three sons and twin daughters but during the Reign of Terror, the couple were torn apart and the fate of their family was cast into peril. After a long period in exile, their eldest child, Louis Philippe (1773-1850) would eventually become the penultimate monarch of France (1830-1848), but not before his two younger brothers contracted tuberculosis while imprisoned with their father at Fort-Saint-Jean in Marseille. Their father was guillotined in 1793 and their mother exiled to Spain. Louis Antoine (1775-1807) and Louis Charles (1779–1808) later died of their condition within a year of each other - Louis Antoine while in exile in England and Louis Charles while visiting Malta.Their sister, Françoise, died in 1782, aged four and was survived by her younger twin, Louise Marie Adélaïde Eugénie (1777–1847). Once King, Louis Philippe came to rely heavily on his sister's intelligence, wisdom and loyalty, consulting her daily on both family matters and affairs of state. Raised a liberal by her governess, 'Madame Adélaïde' supported the idea of a constitutional monarchy and a representative government. Louis Philippe's reign, known as the 'July Monarchy', was dominated by wealthy industrialists and bankers. He promoted friendship with Great Britain and sponsored colonial expansion, notably the French conquest of Algeria. His popularity faded as economic conditions in France deteriorated. Madame Adélaïde died two months before his abdication on 24th February 1848. Louis Philippe spent the remainder of his life in exile in England. His supporters were known as Orléanists.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A cadet Bourbon branch, the House of Orléans, then ruled for 18 years (1830–1848), until it too was deposed.This portrait miniature derives from a portrait of 1785, now at Versailles, by the French state painter and pastellist, Joseph Boze. It was engraved by Benoit Louis Henriquez, the court engraver, and in London by Thomas Curtis. It was used again by the court miniaturist, Pierre Violet, in a portrait showing 'The Unfortunate Louis 16th in the Dress he wore while confined in the Temple', which was engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi and published in London in February 1793, the month after King Louis was sent to the guillotine. This image of the King was therefore well-known and easily available to copyists. An earlier copy of circa 1785-1800 is held by the Royal Collection (inv.no.

A cadet Bourbon branch, the House of Orléans, then ruled for 18 years (1830–1848), until it too was deposed.In 1808, Louis XVIII brought his wife, Marie Joséphine (1753-1810), to join him in England where the couple settled at Hartwell House in Buckinghamshire with over one hundred courtiers. Louis paid £500 in rent each year to the owner of the estate, Sir George Lee. As Prince Regent, the Prince of Wales (later George IV) was very charitable and granted the exiled Bourbons permanent right of asylum with extremely generous allowances.Queen Marie Joséphine died on 13th November 1810. Her funeral was a magnificent occasion attended by the Bourbon court-in-exile. The funeral cortege was followed by the British royal family and Marie Joséphine was laid to rest in Westminster Abbey. Her body was removed a year later on Louis's orders and today Marie Joséphine rests in Cagliari Cathedral in Sardinia, her monument inscribed 'Galliarum Regina' (Queen of the Gauls).After a failed invasion of Russia by Napoleon I in 1812, Louis XVIII issued a declaration from Hartwell, asserting that anyone who had served Napoleon or the Republic would not suffer any repercussions. After allied troops entered Paris on 31st March 1814, the French Senate invited Louis to resume the throne of France and Napoleon I abdicated on 11th April 1814.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
