Pair Of Lieutenant General's Shoulder Boards, Model 1830, July Monarchy.

A PAIR OF LIEUTENANT GENERAL'S SHOULDER BOARDS, Model 1830, July Monarchy. 32741. They are embroidered with gold twisted cord and sequins. The body is embroidered with a design featuring a V-shaped braid bordered by a scalloped edging on dark blue, almost black, wool cloth; its crest is decorated with a shield with a scalloped edge, adorned with three silver stars. The fringes are of thick, matte twisted cord. The border consists of three twists: one large and two smaller ones. Reinforced inner fringe with cardboard lined with yellow silk. 1830 uniform button (burnished and matte gilt, stamped and embossed with a trophy formed of flags and a shield bearing the Gallic rooster), fixed to the top of the shoulder piece; a strong clasp is placed below, on the corresponding part (this clasp engages in a small gusset sewn onto the uniform). Cardboard transport box covered in period scarlet paper, but not the original. France. Restoration (1815-1816). Superb condition. NOTE: The title of lieutenant-general was again used instead of "general of division," and of field marshal instead of "brigadier general" during the Restoration and the July Monarchy, and disappeared definitively in 1848.
