FRANCE - LOIRE VALLEY - LOIR ET CHER (41) - CASTLE OF CHAMBORD - TRONE ROOM OF CHAMBORD: THRONE OF THE COUNT OF CHAMBORD. THIS LARGE RENAISSANCE-STYLE SEAT IS DONATED TO THE COUNT OF CHAMBORD BY THE LADIES OF FRANCE FROM BLOIS, REPRESENTED BY THE MARQUISE DE VIBRAYE. AN INLAID MARBLE PLAQUE CARRIES THE MOTTO: "DOMINE SALVUM FAC REGEM", "LORD, PROTECT OUR KING". IN SEPTEMBER 1883, THE THRONE WAS INSTALLED IN THE CHAPEL OF THE CASTLE ON THE OCCASION OF THE FUNERAL SERVICE OF THE COUNT OF CHAMBORD BEFORE BEING PRESENTED, IN THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY, IN THE NEWLY CONVERTED THRONE ROOM. THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE UP THIS ROOM WERE KEPT IN THE CASTLE'S RESERVES AND WERE PUT BACK IN PLACE IN 2013 ACCORDING TO THE OLD PHOTOGRAPHS.
