About the Item

Title: Antique French Costume Prints of Nobility, Three 19th-Century Hand-Colored Prints Description: This stunning set of three antique French costume prints transports us directly into the refined world of 17th-century French nobility. Each print captures the elegance, richness, and detailed fashion of the era with remarkable accuracy. These hand-colored engravings were produced circa 1850 by Pauquet Frères, renowned 19th-century publishers celebrated for their dedication to historical accuracy and the artistic beauty of their prints. The first print features a distinguished lady in an opulent red and green gown, complete with delicate lace details and an elegantly draped skirt. She stands gracefully beside a table, embodying the poised charm of a French noblewoman. The second print depicts a young nobleman in a vibrant yellow and red costume, adorned with ornamental sashes and bows, his confident pose reflecting the sophistication of courtly life under Louis XIV. The third print showcases a duchess in a magnificent golden dress trimmed with blue, her gown flowing in voluminous folds that highlight the sumptuousness of 17th-century French fashion. These prints not only offer a window into the past but also serve as a testament to the exceptional artistry of Pauquet Frères. Each figure is meticulously hand-colored, enhancing the rich fabrics and detailed accessories that defined aristocratic attire in the 1600s. The backgrounds are simple yet evocative, allowing the figures to stand out in splendid detail. These prints are perfect for collectors, historians, or anyone with a passion for antique costume and decorative art. Their timeless elegance also makes them a superb choice for interior decoration, lending an air of sophistication and history to any room. Condition report: This trio of antique prints is in good condition, with some mild foxing and natural age toning typical of 19th-century paper. Colors are bright, and details are beautifully preserved. Framing tips: Choose classic gold or wooden frames with cream or ivory mats to complement the rich colors and historical elegance of these prints. Archival materials are essential to protect the prints and highlight their refined, hand-colored artistry.
