Reverse-embossed with a likeness of Prince Eugene, this interesting pewter plate will make a clever addition to your decor.
Prince Eugene of Savoy (Franois Eugne; 18 October 1663 – 21 April 1736), was one of the most successful military commanders in modern European history, rising to the highest offices of state at the Imperial court in Vienna. Born in Paris to aristocratic Italian parents, Eugene grew up around the French court of King Louis XIV. Based on his poor physique and bearing, the Prince was initially prepared for a career in the church, but by the age of 19 he had determined on a military career. Rejected by Louis XIV for service in the French army, Eugene moved to Austria and transferred his loyalty to the Habsburg Monarchy.
Circa 1890.
Measures 9 in diameter.
