About this title

Synopsis

D�s l'installation du roi Louis XIV � Versailles, le ch�teau devint le lieu d'o� rayonn�rent, dans toutes les grandes Cours d'Europe, les usages et les objets de table les plus somptueux et les plus raffin�s. C'est � Versailles que princes et rois d'Europe envoyaient des �missaires pour observer le rituel des repas publics, afin de les imiter ou de les adapter. C'est � Versailles que l'on venait admirer les pi�ces d'orf�vrerie et de porcelaine, que l'on commandait ensuite aux orf�vres du roi et � la manufacture royale de S�vres. A cause des fontes successives, puis de la R�volution, la France ne poss�de que tr�s peu de ces objets, mais l'Europe les a conserv�s et permet de r�unir des ensembles somptueux. Ainsi, la grande orf�vrerie fran�aise est-elle pr�sente, notamment au Portugal et � la Cour du Danemark, tandis que la Couronne d'Angleterre et la Russie poss�dent des services de porcelaine imposants, qu'il s'agisse du service de Louis XVI ou du service " aux Cam�es " command� par l'imp�ratrice Catherine II. La r�union de ces ensembles, au-del� de leur beaut�, permet de reconstituer l'�volution des usages et des objets de table royaux, de l'Ancien R�gime jusqu'au Second Empire.
