Chandelier
Not on view
On top is the royal crown of Savoy with the inscription Vive Le Roy Protecteur des Ars (Long live the King, protector of the arts). This chandelier comes from the Palazzo Chiablese in Turin which was modified and decorated about 1740 for Carlo Emanuele III, duke of Savoy and King of Sardinia from 1730 until 1773. The palace is named after Carlo Emanuele's second son, Benedetto Maurizio, duke of Chiablese (1741–1807), who received the palace from his father as a gift.
