Catalogue Note
Le service Borghèse était considéré comme le plus beau service fait à Rome à la fin du XVIIIème siècle. Il fut commandé par le prince Marc-Antoine Borghèse, descendant du frère du pape Paul V (1605-1621). La famille Borghèse était une des plus riches d'Europe. Ce service connut une brève existence car il fut fondu au moment du Traité de Tolentino, signé en 1797 pour régler les dommages de guerre imposés par Napoléon Bonaparte.
