Potted yew crib figurine

The yew tree belongs to the history of the palace of Versailles. Not only did yew trees adorn the gardens of the palace, clipped according to the topiary art, but they also inspired Louis XV for the grand ball held to celebrate the wedding of the Dauphin and the Spanish Infanta Maria Theresa. It was at the Yew Ball that the love affair between Louis XV and the future Marquise de Pompadour began.
