The first year he received over 112 pieces which included forks, knives, plates and several containers made of pure gold. He therefore decided to order an entire table set made out of PURE GOLD! He had to provide the gold ingots himself, and all the goldsmith of the crown were assigned a role in this endeavour. In 1727 he also decided to replaced the silverware of Louis XIV with his own tableware,at only 17 years old he dreamed of something more grand, more fancy. But as times he tried distinguishing himself from his illustrious ancestor of his : he changed the occurrence of the public meals to only include the supper of the no hunt days. When return to Versailles with his court in 1723 Louis XV had to follow the table ritual established his his predecessor the sun King.
