King François I ordered the Chateau to be built. He was the original owner, and wanted it to be closer to his mistress, and used it for hunting trips.
For more than 80 years after the death of King François, French kings abandoned the château, allowing it to fall into decay. Finally, in 1639 King Louis XIII gave it to his brother, Gaston d'Orléans, who saved the château from ruin by carrying out much restoration work. King Louis XIV had the great keep restored and furnished the royal apartments. The king then added a 1,200-horse stable, enabling him to use the château as a hunting lodge and a place to entertain a few weeks each year. Nonetheless, Louis XIV abandoned the château in 1685. From 1725 to 1733, Stanislas Leszczyński (Stanislas I), the deposed King of Poland and father-in-law of King Louis XV, lived at Chambord. In 1745, as a reward for valour, the king gave the château to Maurice de Saxe, Marshal of France who installed his military regiment there. Maurice de Saxe died in 1750 and once again the colossal château sat empty for many years.

Have a Sevres porcelain plate circa 1840 with a hand painted portrait of the Duc de Bourgogne on it It has the royal mark on the back and the mark of the Chateau de Tuileries What is it worth?
I can't tell you the value, but I can tell you how to find out. There are collectors books that list the secondary market value of plates and other items. You can look in one of these books under the makers name/brand and it will list the plate by name and date. Since yours is so old it may not be listed. Just the fact it is an antique makes it worth something to a collector of plates. The value for a collector is determined by how good shape it is in. If there are any chips or cracks in the plate or if the picture on the plate still has its colors and there is no fading the value goes up. How rare the plate is may determine value. You could take your plate to an antique dealer to see what they offer, but be careful they will offer you less than its true value.
