A PAIR OF LOUIS XV SILVER DOUBLE-LIPPED SAUCEBOATS
MARK OF JEAN-FRANÇOIS BALZAC, PARIS, 1764

François Gabriel Joseph married, on 21 March 1762, Countess Josepha Dorothea Alberta von Thürheim (1742-1765), daughter of Count Johann Wilhelm von Thürheim (1692-1749) and Countess Maria Albertina von und zu Sprinzenstein und Neuhaus (1710-1754). The Marquis du Chasteler was a member of the assembly of the very noble lords of the States of Brabant and Hainaut. He was the son of Joannes Franciscus, Marquis du Chasteler, and Maria Clara Josepha Dusart. On 13 June 1788, he was admitted to the Serhuyghs lineage, as a direct descendant of Catharina van Oyenbrugge, wife of Messire Joannes d'Yve, linked to Gerardus van Oyenbrugge, who served as alderman of Brussels in 1621 and burgomaster of Brussels in 1635.
