She became a symbol of the excesses of Frances aristocracy in the eighteenth century that helped pave the way to dissolution of the countrys monarchy. The great material privileges she enjoyed and her glamorous role as an arbiter of fashion and a patron of the arts in the French court, set against her tragic death on the scaffold, still spark the popular imagination.In this gorgeously illustrated volume, the authors find a fresh and nuanced approach to MarieAntoinettes muchtold story through the objects and locations that made up the fabric of her world. They trace the major events of her life, from her upbringing in Vienna as the archduchess of Austria, to her ascension to the French throne, to her execution at the hands of the revolutionary tribunal. The exquisite objects that populated MarieAntoinettes rarefied surroundingsbeautiful gowns, giltmounted furniture, chinoiserie porcelains, and opulent tablewareare depicted. But so too are possessions representing her personal pursuits and private world, including her sewing kit, her harp, her childrens toys, and even the simple cotton chemise she wore as a condemned prisoner.
