Commentary


Ce type de revers fut utilisé cette année-là pour le Conseil, les Parties Casuelles et les Menus-Plaisirs. Sans vouloir contester le grand Feuardent, nous pensons que le lion tient une balance et non une paire de cymbales. Il est probable que l’exemplaire de Feuardent était dans un tel état que ces objets n’étaient plus distincts.
This type of reverse was used that year for the Council, the Casual Parties and the Menus-Plaisirs. Without wishing to dispute the great Feuardent, we believe that the lion is holding a pair of scales and not a pair of cymbals. It is likely that the Feuardent copy was in such a state that these objects were no longer distinct.

Historical background


MENUS-PLAISIRS DU ROI

The full name of this administration is "Silverware, Small Pleasures and Affairs of the King's Chamber". This is the department in charge of theater sets, costumes and accessories for plays, ballets and shows organized at court. It is headed by a steward. From the Hôtel du Roi, the Menus Plaisirs et Affaires de la Chambre service provided the King with the means to appear as a sovereign. The term menus covers the small supplies made by the valets de chambre, barbers and upholsterers, liveries, travel, almanacs and calendars intended for the Court, jewels and portraits offered by the King.
