About the Item

A favored royal residence, Château d’Amboise was confiscated by the monarchy in the 15th century. King Charles VIII actually died at the chateau in 1489 after knocking himself unconscious on a door lintel—talk about bad luck. This bust was acquired during a sale of select items from the grand property’s chapel. Believed to date back to 1860, the piece is possibly older.
