About the Item
16th Century Renaissance Borders – Ornamental Panels from L'Ornement Polychrome, Plate LXXI
This vivid and highly decorative sheet is Plate LXXI from the celebrated chromolithographic series L'Ornement Polychrome, produced under the direction of Albert Racinet and published by Firmin-Didot in Paris in the mid-19th century. Lithographed by Pralon, this particular plate showcases ornamental Renaissance panels from the 16th century, designed for use as architectural borders, manuscript frames, or interior decorative elements.
The design is a masterclass in polychromatic Renaissance aesthetics. Arranged in neat horizontal registers, the composition presents dozens of unique border fragments, each exhibiting a range of classical influences: grotesques, arabesques, vegetal motifs, putti, mythical creatures, garlands, masks, and shields.
These panels, richly adorned in blues, reds, greens, and golds, are highly detailed. Some feature blank cartouches intended for inscription, flanked by cherubs or mermaids, while others incorporate human busts, medallions, lions’ heads, or coats of arms. The framing elements are ornamented with scrolls, volutes, floral tracery, bead-and-reel bands, and Renaissance grotesques derived from ancient Roman fresco traditions.
The extraordinary variety makes this sheet not only an aesthetic marvel but also a practical reference for artists, restorers, and designers seeking authentic Renaissance forms. It reflects the historicist and revivalist interests of the 19th century, when artists and architects sought to recover and repurpose historical ornament.
Condition: Excellent. Bright colors, sharp details, slight age-toning to the margins but image area pristine.
Framing tips: A thin gold-leaf or antique wood frame with a neutral mat would enhance the historic nature of the plate. Ideal for display in libraries, studios, or collections of architectural or decorative arts.

Maker: Pralon (lith.), Firmin-Didot Frères, Paris, c.1869
