The king, who had 9 children, settled with his whole family in the former royal and imperial residences such as Trianon, Les Tuileries, Saint-Cloud, or Fontainebleau as well as in his private residences including Neuilly, Dreux, Eu or Bizy. Louis-Philippe abolished le grand couvert and introduced four types of services crafted in Sevres porcelain, with several levels of luxury. They were stamped with a specific château mark and could be lent from one castle to another for large receptions. These exceptional pieces inspired the 19th century porcelain manufactories.
