This marble coaster evokes the sun, emblem of King Louis XIV.

It was on the occasion of the Carrousel of 1662 that Louis XIV adopted it as his emblem: like the god Apollo, the Sun King restored peace and protected the arts, and like the celestial body, he governed the rhythm of all life.

The décor of the Palace of Versailles abounds with representations of the sun and the god: the ornaments of the doorway leading to the Salon of Abundance in the King’s Grand Apartment served as inspiration for this design.
