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

About the Item

Title: Antique French Print of Page Attire, 19th Century Description: This striking antique French costume print, titled “Page, Règne de Charles V,” offers a charming glimpse into the fashion of young pages during the reign of Charles V in 14th-century France. Published in the 19th century by Pauquet Frères, this print is part of their celebrated series “Modes et Costumes Historiques,” which documented historical French fashion with precision and artistry. It was created after the research of Willemin, ensuring accuracy in both costume design and historical context. The young page in the illustration wears a vibrant outfit typical of his position in the medieval court. His green tunic, cinched at the waist and adorned with a sash, contrasts strikingly with his bold red and blue hose, evoking the lively color schemes of the Middle Ages. A delicate feathered hat tops off his ensemble, adding a whimsical touch of courtly charm. He leans casually against an ornate stone balustrade, exuding a sense of youthful confidence and noble service. Pauquet Frères’ refined hand-coloring enhances the elegance of this scene, while the intricate background details, including architectural carvings and classical motifs, create a rich and immersive atmosphere. Such prints were widely admired in the 19th century for their educational and decorative value, and today they remain sought after by collectors of antique prints and enthusiasts of historical fashion. As an authentic 19th-century illustration, this piece is perfect for adding a unique historical accent to any home or professional space. Its refined color palette and graceful depiction of medieval fashion make it an eye-catching statement piece. Condition report: This print is in good condition for its age, with some minor foxing and light age-toning. The colors remain vivid, and the paper is well-preserved with no significant tears or stains. Framing tips: For a classic presentation, frame this piece with a gold or wooden frame and a cream or ivory mat.
