Iron bolt featuring the coat of arms of the alliance, Order - Lot 245
Iron bolt featuring the coat of arms of the alliance, Order of the Holy Spirit. France, circa 1640 H: 18.9 cm (Minor oxidation) The coat of arms corresponds to the combined arms of Claude Bouthillier, Lord of Chavigny (1581–1652), and his wife Marie de Bragelongne (1590–1673). They were the owners of the Château de Chavigny in Chambourg-sur-Indre (Indre-et-Loire). Claude Bouthillier de Chavigny served as Superintendent of Finances under King Louis XIII and oversaw the reconstruction of the Château de Pont-sur-Seine (Aube). The archives of the latter château indicate that the metalwork was commissioned in 1641. It is quite possible that this bolt comes from that commission.
