QUEENS HALL
MARIE-AMELIE GLASS
-
-
Clear crystal Maria Amelia glass, shaped with straight edge cuts and a bevelled cord. The côtes plates (flat cuts) embellishing the Maria Amalia glass are reminiscent of knights’ helmets, linking the collection to the Crusades Hall in the Palace’s Historic Galleries, which were inaugurated by this queen. It’s also a nod to the strength of her commitment to charity, and to her affinity with the neo medieval style that was fashionable in her era. Maria Amalia of Naples and Sicily (1782-1866) the last queen of the French people distinguished herself through her commitment to charity. She reigned over the French people at the side of Louis Philippe, and opened a museum with him in the Palace of Versailles.

The Queens’ Hall collection, stemming from a lineage which rings out as clearly as the glass itself, is a new testament to the bond between the Palace of Versailles and Saint Louis. It offers a playful tribute to four queens who left their mark on the palace (Maria Theresa of Austria, Marie Leszczynska Marie Antoinette of Austria and Maria Amalia of Naples and Sicily).
Each and every mark on the crystal is reminiscent of the artistic and historic inspirations which defined the corresponding reign. Four glasses in clear crystal, a tribute to the four queens who lit up Versailles.
