Crown of Louis XV of France

All of France's about 20 crowns of the Ancient Regime, kept in the treasury of Saint-Denis, including the one said of Saint Louis or of Charlemagne, were destroyed in 1793 during the French Revolution.

It was used by Charles X at his 1825 Coronation in Reims, the last occasion a French monarch was formally crowned.

In 1885 the French Third Republic decided to sell the Crown Jewels.

Given its historic importance, the crown of Louis XV was kept, though its precious stones were replaced by glass.
