Antique French Costume Print of Medieval Chambermaid, Hand-Colored, 19th Century

About the Item

Antique French Costume Print of Medieval Chambermaid, Hand-Colored, 19th Century Description: This delightful antique French print, titled “Chambrière, Règne de Charles VII,” offers a charming depiction of a chambermaid’s attire during the 15th century, under the reign of Charles VII. Created by Pauquet Frères in the 19th century and based on ancient French manuscripts, this hand-colored engraving is part of the revered “Modes et Costumes Historiques” series, celebrated for its fine artistry and historical accuracy. The young chambermaid is shown in her humble yet colorful attire, reflecting the domestic roles of women in medieval society. She wears a red bodice with a yellow apron and a striking green skirt, her hair covered by a traditional headdress typical of the period. Her posture, slightly bowed with her eyes downcast, conveys a gentle modesty, while the background etching of domestic tools adds a layer of narrative depth to the scene. This print captures not only the style but also the atmosphere of 15th-century domestic life in France. The Pauquet Frères’ fine line work and delicate hand-coloring elevate this illustration, highlighting the folds of her skirt, the sheen of the fabric, and the softness of her expression. It’s a window into the world of medieval service, offering a valuable piece of history that is both visually captivating and culturally significant. Such prints are cherished by collectors of antique art, historians, and decorators seeking a unique and authentic touch of medieval charm. Its engaging colors and poised figure make it a wonderful focal point for any room, adding a timeless elegance to classic or contemporary interiors. Condition report: This print is in good antique condition, with some light foxing and gentle age toning. The colors remain vibrant, and there are no significant tears to the paper. Please study the images carefully. Framing tips: For a refined look, use a classic wooden or gold frame with a cream or ivory mat. Archival-quality materials will help protect the piece and highlight its rich colors, ensuring its lasting beauty in any interior.
