Catalogue Note

This bronze is a reduction of the statue of Louis d’Orléans équestre

commissioned by the French State for the courtyard of the Château de

Pierrefonds in 1869. As the youngest son of King Charles V of France, Louis

d’Orléans (1372­1407) received by royal prerogative the Duchy of Touraine and

to strengthen his territory built a fortress at Pierrefonds. Besieged in the 17th

century and left as a romantic ruin for two centuries, the Château de Pierrefonds

was a cause célèbre of Napoleon III who pursued a program of restoration that

was subsumed by the creation of an Imperial Residence which leaves the château

today very much a 19th century imagining of a medieval castle.

Catalogue Note

Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773­1843) and the fourth son of

George III, lived at Kensington Palace from 1806 until 1843 and almost certainly

commissioned these bookcases. They were originally fitted to house some of his

collection of 50,000 books ­ at that time regarded as one of the most important

private libraries in England. They were later dismantled and reconstructed as

free­standing bookcases by Princess Louise, a daughter of Queen Victoria, who

lived in Kensington Palace until 1940.
