About the Item

Antique French Costume Print of a Noble Lady in Medieval Attire, 19th Century Description: This charming antique French costume print, titled “Dame de qualité, Règne de Charles VII,” captures the elegance and grandeur of medieval noblewomen’s fashion during the reign of Charles VII in the 15th century. Published by Pauquet Frères in the 19th century, this exquisite hand-colored engraving is part of their celebrated series “Modes et Costumes Historiques,” renowned for its meticulous attention to historical detail and fine artistry. The noble lady depicted wears a magnificent red gown with green velvet trim and a luxurious flowing train, embodying the refined sophistication of medieval court dress. Her iconic hennin headdress, with its soaring height and long, trailing veil, adds an air of ethereal beauty and status. Her delicate posture and serene expression highlight the idealized grace of noblewomen during this period. In the distance, a castle rises above the treetops, reinforcing the aristocratic ambiance of the scene. This print is not just a beautiful artwork; it is a cultural artifact that brings to life the elegance of 15th-century France. The Pauquet Frères’ exceptional craftsmanship is evident in the fine line work and vivid hand coloring that accentuates the rich fabrics and delicate embroidery. Collectors of antique costume prints, medieval history enthusiasts, and those with a passion for French heritage will find this piece a rare and captivating addition to their collections. It also makes a striking focal point in any interior, evoking the romance and mystery of medieval Europe. Condition report: This 19th-century print is in good antique condition, with some minor foxing and gentle age-related toning that does not detract from its vivid colors and overall charm. Framing tips: To highlight its historic elegance, frame this piece in a classic wooden or gold frame with a soft cream or ivory mat. Using archival materials will preserve the vibrancy and prevent further aging, making it a cherished feature in any decor.
