Pair of overdoors
The medallion in the center of 07.225.101a is carved with a classicizing laureate profile portrait of Louis XV (1710–1774). This and a pendant overdoor, also in the Museum's collection, are said to come from the Château de Saint-Cloud, near Paris, which belonged to the Orléans family for most of the eighteenth century until 1785, when it was bought by Louis XVI as a present for Marie-Antoinette.
