Description

The diamond necklace was commissioned by Louis XV for Madame Dubarry from the crown jewellers Bohmer and Bassenge. It was worth an equivalent value then of £80,000, but with the death of the King the necklace was not paid for, almost bank rupting the jewellers and leading to various unsuccessful schemes to secure a sale to Queen Marie-Antoinette. 18th century
