Princess Marie of Prussia, Queen of Bavaria (1825-1889)

This necklace belonged to Princess Marie of Prussia, Queen of Bavaria (1825-1889). In 1842, she married the future King Maximilian II Joseph of Bavaria (1811-1864). Marie of Prussia was known for her beauty and as such had her portrait by Joseph Karl Stieler included in the Schönheitengalerie at Schloss Nymphenburg. The couple became King and Queen of Bavaria following the abdication of King Ludwig I (1786-1868) during the 1848 Revolution. Their son, the eccentric Ludwig II (1845-1886) acceded to the throne in 1864.
