Elegant 1844 Lithograph of a High-Class Indian Woman in Traditional Saree
Located in Langweer, NL
This handcoloured lithograph titled "Jeune fille indoue de la haute classe" depicts a young high-class Indian woman adorned in traditional attire.
The print is part of Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde," published in 1844.
This lithograph utilizes handcolouring techniques to enhance the vividness and detail of the traditional Indian saree, which is characterized by its bright pink and green hues and intricate draping style.
The saree, a timeless symbol of Indian femininity, is elegantly wrapped, showcasing the elaborate textile craftsmanship of India. The woman's jewelry, including bangles and necklaces, reflects the cultural importance of adornments in Indian society, often indicating social status and personal wealth.
This print is captivating due to its rich depiction of cultural attire and the graceful demeanor of the woman, which together illustrate the refined aesthetic and social codes of India's upper class during the 19th century. The lithograph not only serves as a beautiful piece of art but also as an important cultural document that provides insights into the traditional attire and societal norms of historical India.

19th Century Lepidoptera: An Illustrated Compendium of Moths and Butterflies
Located in Langweer, NL
An antique hand-colored engraving. This particular illustration focuses on various moth and butterfly species, showcasing their wing patterns and body shapes in vibrant colors and with a high level of detail.
The different specimens are numbered and named at the bottom, likely corresponding to their scientific names, which are partially legible and written in French. These include various types of moths and butterflies with distinct markings, such as eye-like spots on their wings, which are often used in nature as a form of mimicry or to ward off predators.
The artistic style is consistent with scientific illustrations of the 19th century, aimed at providing an accurate representation of the insects for study and reference. The paper shows signs of aging, indicating the historical value of the print. This type of illustration would have been a vital educational tool at the time, combining scientific interest with an appreciation for the beauty of these creatures. The illustrator has captured both the structural and aesthetic qualities of the insects, which would have been important for both scientific taxonomy and for those with a general interest in natural history.
The image appears to be a caption section from an antique hand-colored engraving, listing the names of various moth and butterfly species. The names are in French and are likely to correspond to the illustrations of the specimens on the main engraving. Here's the list of the species with a description based on the names provided:
1. **SÉSIE freloniforme**: This is likely a species of clearwing moth, which mimics the appearance of a hornet or wasp (hence "freloniforme", resembling a hornet). Clearwing moths are known for their transparent wings and mimicry for defense against predators.
2. **PROCRIS du Statice**: This could refer to a species of moth or butterfly associated with sea-lavender plants...

Circassian and Imeretian Princes in Traditional Attire, 1844 Lithographs
Located in Langweer, NL
Title:"Circassian and Imeretian Princes in Traditional Attire, 1844 Lithographs"
This horizontal compilation features two lithographs from Auguste Wahlen's 1844 series, "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde," depicting princes from Circassia and Imeretia in traditional attire.
These prints, made using handcoloured lithography, highlight the distinctive cultural dress and accessories of these regions in Asia.
The Circassian prince is adorned in a decorative military-style outfit, complete with armor and a bow, symbolizing his warrior status. The Imeretian prince's attire is similarly martial but incorporates more vivid colors and a less formal style, reflecting the different ceremonial and functional aspects of his region's attire.
The attractiveness of these prints lies in their vibrant coloration and meticulous detail, which not only make them visually striking but also serve as valuable historical records of cultural heritage and traditional dress. The technique of handcoloured lithography allows for precise detail and rich hues, enhancing the visual impact and historical authenticity of each figure.

Philippe le Bon or The Good, Duke of Burgundy: The Duke's Prestige, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Philippe le Bon: The Duke's Prestige"
Description: The print showcases Philippe le Bon, also known as Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, standing in a dignified pose that conveys authority and nobility. He was known for his patronage of the arts and the opulence of his court, and this is reflected in the intricate detail of his attire.
Philippe is dressed in a doublet with a patterned design, possibly embroidered with gold thread, which would have been a symbol of wealth and status during his time. The garment fits snugly to his form, a style that was fashionable among the nobility in the 15th century. The lower part of the doublet extends into a skirt, which is edged with fur, adding to the luxuriousness of his ensemble.
He wears hose that fit tightly to his legs, a common fashion of the time, which are practical for riding and daily activities of a nobleman. His shoes are pointed, following the style of the Burgundian court.
On his head, Philippe sports a chaperon, a type of headgear that was popular among men of rank. The chaperon features a rolled brim and an extended tail, known as a 'liripipe', which adds a distinctive flair to his profile.
Around his neck, he has a chain, from which hangs a badge or medallion, denoting his high rank and perhaps an order of chivalry. His right hand rests on the hilt of a dagger, hinting at the martial aspect of his role as a duke and the necessity for self...

Antique and Vintage Wall Decor and Decorations
An empty wall in your home is a blank canvas, and that’s good news. Whether you’ve chosen to arrange a collage of paintings in a hallway or carefully position a handful of wall-mounted sculptures in your dining room, there are a lot of options for beautifying your space with the antique and vintage wall decor and decorations available on 1stDibs.
If you’re seeking inspiration for your wall decor, we’ve got some ideas (and we can show you how to arrange wall art, too).
“I recommend leaving enough space above the piece of furniture to allow for usable workspace and to protect the art from other items damaging it,” says Susana Simonpietri, of Brooklyn home design studio Chango & Co.
Hanging a single attention-grabbing large-scale print or poster over your bar or bar cart can prove intoxicating, but the maximalist approach of a salon-style hang, a practice rooted in 17th-century France, can help showcase works of various shapes, styles and sizes on a single wall or part of a wall.
If you’re planning on creating an accent wall — or just aiming to bring a variety of colors and textures into a bedroom — there is more than one way to decorate with wallpaper. Otherwise, don’t overlook what textiles can introduce to a space. A vintage tapestry can work wonders and will be easy to move when you’ve found that dream apartment in another borough.
Express your taste and personality with the right ornamental touch for the walls of your home or office — find a range of contemporary art, vintage photography, paintings and other wall decor and decorations on 1stDibs now.
