Louis Philippe was the last King and penultimate monarch of France, ruling from 1830 to 1848. He was born in Paris, France on October 6, 1773 and died in Claremont, Surrey, England on August 26, 1850. He was a cousin of King Louis XVI and one of the wealthiest men in France. He was known as the Citizen King.
Known as the “Citizen King,” Louis Philippe reigned from 1830 to the Revolution of 1848 with the support of the upper bourgeoisie. Whereas the monarchs of 18th-century France, including Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI, dictated aesthetics through the decadence of the aristocratic court, Louis Philippe had a more down-to-earth presence. He could be seen walking the streets like an ordinary person, carrying his own umbrella and shaking hands with subjects.
There are many products available that feature Louis Philippe brass, including nightstands, clocks, and mirrors. less
