does anybody have pictures of the legitimists green caps? I keep picturing the phyrigian cap but green for some reason lol

Hi! I don’t have any but maybe someone reading this might have? I think this is the only picture I have of legitimist prisoners and well, some of them are wearing hats but I don’t think those are the caps? They don’t look like caps.

Can anybody help with this?

Toilette table gifted to Princess Louise-Marie-Thérèse (1819-1864), granddaughter of King Charles X and Queen Marie-Thérèse, and sister of Henri V, the Bourbon Pretender to the French throne (Duc de Chambord), in honour of her wedding to the Hereditary Prince of Lucca, future Duke of Parma.

The ensemble was “commissioned by a subscription circulated among the Legitimist ladies of France” (royalists who supported Henri V and the eldest branch of the Bourbons), and completed around 1847.

“Its decoration evokes a nostalgic and idealised image of the Middle Ages as a period of loyalty to King and to God, as well as exalting traditional French values and the bonds of marriage. The fleurs-de-lis and roses of France are intertwined with ivy, the symbol of marital fidelity.”

“The jewellery boxes, whose shape recalls 12th century Mosan reliquaries, are decorated with the portraits of twenty great French women renowned for their piety, courage and literary talent, such as Blanche de Castille, Joan of Arc and Clémence Isaure.” Musée d'Orsay

Materials: partly gilded silver, gilded copper, enamel painted on copper, blue glass, emeralds, and garnets.
