About the Item

Title: Antique French Costume Print of Gabrielle d’Estrées, 16th-Century Court Dress, 19th Century Description: This magnificent antique French costume print, titled “Gabrielle d’Estrées, Règne de Henri IV,” illustrates the elegance and grandeur of late 16th-century French court attire. Created by Pauquet Frères in the 19th century and based on the historical work of Thomas de Leu from 1593, this hand-colored engraving is part of the celebrated “Modes et Costumes Historiques” series, known for its vivid portrayals of European aristocratic fashion. The print features Gabrielle d’Estrées, a prominent figure in the French court and mistress of King Henri IV, wearing an opulent gown adorned with delicate gold embroidery and ornate floral motifs. Her wide, sweeping skirt is edged in golden trim, while the deep blue underskirt adds a regal contrast. The rich folds of her gown and the shimmering textures of the fabric highlight the exquisite craftsmanship of 16th-century haute couture. Her refined hairstyle and stately posture convey a sense of nobility and sophistication, offering a glimpse into the lavish world of Renaissance France. Pauquet Frères’ expert use of fine line work and delicate hand coloring brings this figure to life, capturing both the material beauty and the cultural significance of her attire. This print is a rare and captivating piece for collectors of antique costume prints, enthusiasts of French Renaissance history, and decorators seeking a statement of historical elegance. Condition report: This print is in good antique condition, with light foxing and minor age-related toning. The colors remain vivid and the paper is well-preserved, adding to its authentic antique charm. Framing tips: For an elegant presentation, frame this piece in a classic wooden or gold frame with a soft ivory or cream mat.
