About the Item

Antique 1845 Hand-Colored Print of a Medieval King in Regal Robes with Scepter This striking hand-colored engraving from 1845 depicts a majestic medieval king standing in full ceremonial regalia. Draped in flowing robes of rose-pink, royal blue, and gold trim, the figure exudes authority and solemnity. He holds a long, golden scepter in one hand and gestures with the other, possibly in the act of blessing or proclamation. His full grey beard, golden crown, and richly detailed garments emphasize his status and symbolic power. Behind him, a voluminous cloth backdrop and a pair of tasseled cushions suggest a throne setting, reinforcing the impression of courtly ritual and royal presence. The inscription “MCCCC. No 5” beneath the base identifies the style of the costume as c.1400, rendered with 19th-century precision and flair during the height of the Gothic Revival. This print is part of a larger French series illustrating medieval and ecclesiastical figures, created during a time of renewed interest in medieval history, chivalric ideals, and religious pageantry. Such images were popular with historians, designers, and collectors of the decorative arts, and often appeared in costume books, theatrical references, and architectural treatises. Condition: Good condition overall. Strong, clear impression with vibrant original hand-coloring. Some light toning and minor spotting in the margins, as expected for age. Image area is clean and margins are ample, ideal for framing. Framing tip: This commanding portrait of a medieval monarch would display beautifully in a dark walnut, black, or gold-leafed frame with a warm neutral mat. Ideal as a centerpiece or as part of a themed collection. UV-filtering glass is recommended to preserve the richness of the colors. Keywords: Medieval king, royal portrait, Gothic Revival, antique print, hand-colored engraving, 15th-century costume, historical costume, scepter, crown, regal dress, French costume series, 1845, MCCCC No 5, monarchy, chivalric tradition, medieval authority.
