The Côte de Bretagne, Louvre Museum
The Red Spinel, known as the Côte-de-Bretagne, is the oldest gem in the French Crown Jewels collection, originally belonged to Anne of Brittany & her mother Marguerite de Foix (c. 1480).
It was later shaped into a fat "Oriental" dragon with flames by Jacques Guay, the gemstone engraver of Louis XV.
During the French Revolution, it was stolen from the Royal Storehouse. It miraculously surfaced in London in 1797, and was restored to the French collection.

The 6 pieces of Louis XV furniture are accompanied by decorative items in the style of 18th century Sevres porcelain. I also remade the Louis XV Candlestick I made a while ago, because it was missing LOD's. Please replace the old files by the new ones.
All items are base game compatible! :)

4th Version of my updated Grand King's Bedchamber Bed under Louis XV.
This is the summer bed received in 1723 when Louis XV returned to Versailles, the summer furnitures from his predecessor the sun king were missing as they were gifted to the duke of Tresmes at his death in 1715. A new summer set was received and given the number 2200 by the Garde Meuble. It was actually made from some older brocades received in 1688, and given the numbers 123,132,133,134. In 1723 Lallié retouched them and sent them back to the garde meuble under the new number 2200. In this post I won't go into the details about my choices when designing the updated version of that brocade as I will in a future post. I will just focus on the bed which I made sticking as much as possible to the description from the 1723 garde meuble entry.

Isaac Smith to John Adams, 3 September 1771
The public affairs of France are infinitely more embarrass’d than those of England. The former boasts of having a greater variety of ressources at command than the latter. Poverty however covers the face both of the public, and of individuals. The wretched state of its finances at present is a great security to our tranquillity. A prime minister exiled—another substituted in his room, the object of public odium—parliaments one after the other dissolved and banished—and the princes of the blood (one only excepted) thrown into disgrace! If an instance of illegal violence adopted against a single member of the british parliament could raise such a clamour here, what would proceedings of such a nature occasion? A rod hung over the heads of the people in that kingdom, tho’ it cannot suppress their murmurs, yet is sufficient to prevent them from carrying their complaints into action. To so sensible a nation as the french, it must be a most mortifying circumstance, that the revolutions of their government are often dependent on the amours of their monarch. This is notorious in the late change of their administration. The history of the present Sultana of their Court [Madame du Barry] is curious. It seems that she is the natural daughter of a monk, and was a domestic in a family at Paris. A particular nobleman is struck with her beauty. As he had either already formed such a connection, or was afraid of degrading his dignity too far, he persuades his brother to marry her. In course of time, to serve the political purposes of a family, she is recommended to the King, who is particularly fond of bestowing his caresses on a married lady. To make herself appear in the more respectable light at Court, she claims an affinity with an ancient family of Ireland, the present possessor of whose title, Lord Barrymore, a nobleman equally distinguished for his conjugal fidelity in London, as Madame la Comtesse de Barre for her unspotted virtue in Paris, is so very condescending as to own the relation; and she is now treated with as much respect, as if she owed her connection with the monarch to birth instead of fortune. I had not an opportunity, tho I spent a day at the Palace of Versailles, of admiring the charms of this celebrated Lady.
