Description

gilded in the royal printing house workshops


Haut. 15 cm, larg. 36 cm, prof. 20 cm;

Height. 5 7/8 in, width. 14 in, depth. 8 in

Louis le Grand Dauphin (1661-1711) or

Louis, duc de Bourgogne (1682-1712) or

Louis, duc de Bretagne, futur Louis XV (1710-1774) or

Louis, Dauphin de France (1729-1765).

As the four dauphins of the late 17th and early 18th centuries used the same coat of arms, it is very difficult to attribute this casket precisely to one of the heirs to the throne.
