Guillotine earrings commemorating the execution of Louis XVI during France’s Reign of Terror, c. 1793

[in-my-fop-era]

Though they commemorate the executions of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in 1793, these earrings were not made until around 1880, according to the Musée Carnavalet in Paris.

From the description:

Le foisonnement des représentations de la guillotine continue après la Révolution à l’exemple de ces pendants d’oreilles à la guillotine datant de la fin du 19e siècle qui devient un ornement patriotique républicain.

Machine translated:

The proliferation of representations of the guillotine continued after the Revolution, as illustrated by these guillotine earrings dating from the late 19th century, which became a patriotic republican ornament.
