About the Item

Antique French Costume Prints with Floral Embellishments - 1816 to 1819 This charming set of three antique French costume prints offers a beautiful glimpse into the refined world of 19th-century French courtly fashion. These delicately hand-colored lithographs date from between 1816 and 1819 and were created by the esteemed lithographer P. Pauquet. The prints, titled Costumes de Bal (1819), Manteaux de Cour (1816), and Baronne (1783), showcase a selection of striking women's costumes that highlight the opulence and artistry of the period's attire. Each print is meticulously detailed, capturing the layered, flowing gowns adorned with delicate floral motifs and elegant lacework, typical of the early 19th-century French court. The vibrant pastel shades of blue, pink, green, and white, combined with the intricate floral headpieces, add a touch of whimsy and romance to these scenes. These images would have been used to showcase the latest fashion trends and ceremonial dress, providing valuable insight into the era's social customs and refined sensibilities. The talented Pauquet brothers, Paul and Hippolyte, were known for their historical costume studies, and their work continues to captivate collectors and costume historians alike. These particular prints are especially significant for their depiction of transitional styles from the Empire period to the Restoration era, illustrating the changing silhouettes and ornamental details that defined French fashion during this time. Condition Report: The prints are in good condition for their age, with minor scattered foxing and a slightly aged patina that enhances their vintage charm. Colors remain fresh and bright, adding to their visual appeal. Framing Tips: These prints would look exquisite when paired with a classic gold-leaf or natural wood frame to complement their historical subject matter. Use off-white or cream-colored matting to highlight the delicate pastel tones and ensure the intricate details stand out. This elegant presentation will transform them into a stunning focal point for a living room, library, or study, celebrating the romantic artistry of 19th-century French costume design.
