Antique Genealogy Chart of the Valois House in France, 1732
About the Item
Antique print titled 'Nouvelle Carte Genealogique des Branches du Cote Gauche (..)'.
Set of two prints with a chart of the left branch of the genealogy of the Valois House, and the various branches formed through alliances, each with its coat of arms including the Counts and Dukes of Alencon, Anjou, Naples, Calabria, Burgundy, Brabant. With inset engraved views of the Hotel des Invalides in Paris, the Trianon, Versailles and St. Cloud. This print orginates from 'Atlas Historique'.
The House of Valois[a] was a cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty. They succeeded the House of Capet (or "Direct Capetians") to the French throne, and were the royal house of France from 1328 to 1589. Junior members of the family founded cadet branches in Orléans, Anjou, Burgundy, and Alençon.
The Valois descended from Charles, Count of Valois (1270–1325), the second surviving son of King Philip III of France (reigned 1270–1285). Their title to the throne was based on a precedent in 1316 (later retroactively attributed to the Merovingian Salic law) which excluded females (Joan II of Navarre), as well as male descendants through the distaff side (Edward III of England), from the succession to the French throne.
After holding the throne for several centuries the Valois male line failed and the House of Bourbon succeeded the Valois to the throne as the senior-surviving branch of the Capetian dynasty.
Artists and Engravers: Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684-1743), his father Zacharie Chatelain (d.1723) and Zacharie Junior (1690-1754), worked as a partnership publishing the Atlas Historique.
Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space.

Chart of the genealogy of the Landgraviate Hessen-Kassel / Hesse-Cassel. This includes the coats of arms of both Hesse-Cassel and Hesse-Darmstadt. This print orginates from 'Atlas Historique'. The Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel (German: Landgrafschaft Hessen-Kassel), spelled Hesse-Cassel during its entire existence, was a state in the Holy Roman Empire that was directly subject to the Emperor. The state was created in 1567 when the Landgraviate of Hesse was divided upon the death of Philip I, Landgrave of Hesse.
