About the Item

A fine pair of large candlesticks in finley chiselled, gilded and patinated bronze. The base has inventory marks attesting to their belonging to LOUIS-PHILIPPE I, Roi des Français (August 9, 1830 - February 24, 1848), for his residence Le Château de Neuilly.?? Inventory marks: LP framing a crown, N, number 11256 for Louis-Philippe Neuilly. ???LOUIS-PHILIPPE I was born on October 6, 1773 in Paris, France, and died on August 26, 1850 in Claremont in the United Kingdom. First prince of the blood under the Restoration, Prince Louis-Philippe successively carried the titles of Duc de Valois (1773-1785), Duc de Chartres (1785-1790) and Duc d'Orleans (1793-1830) before access to the crown in 1830, following the overthrow of his cousin CHARLES X. He was the last French king. ??? LE CHÂTEAU DE NEUILLY (Castle of Neuilly)?? The origins of the estate go back to the reign of LOUIS XIV, the first castle having been built in the 17th century for Louis Béchameil de Nointel, superintendent of finance for the Duc d'ORLEANS and butler of LOUIS XIV. In 1740, it was passed by will to Marc-Pierre de Voyer de Paulmy, Comte d'Argenson, chancellor of the Duc d'ORLEANS, who had the castle rebuilt on after drawings by architect Jean-Sylvain Cartaud in 1751. ??Once rented as a second home to Prince Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord, who gave sumptuous receptions. Neuilly was acquired in 1804 by Prince MURAT who considerably increased the area and asked the architect Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine, architect of the Palais des Tuileries, Le Louvre, imperial manufactures all the Bâtiments de la Couronne located within the city walls of Paris, to build a left wing and supervise the decoration of the whole. He became king of Naples in 1808 and all the property of MURAT was united to the Domaine Extraordinaire de la Couronne and the domain was then passed to Princess Pauline Borghese as an endowment.?? In 1814, the domain returned to La Couronne and was acquired by the Duc d'Orleans, future LOUIS-PHILIPPE Ist. A new wave of enlargements of the gardens and the castle was carried out, which became the family’s summer residence, still under the direction of the architect Fontaine.? It was then one of the favorite residences of the Famille d'Orleans, who made long stays there during the reign of LOUIS-PHILIPPE.?? On February 25, 1848, the castle was looted and partially burnt down by rioters. Only the right wing known as Madame Adélaïde's Pavilion remains.??The domain was sequestrated by NAPOLEON III in 1852 and sold in lots from 1853.
