About the Item

Title: Antique French Costume Prints of Nobles from Lorraine, 1625, Published c.1860 Description: This captivating set of antique French costume prints showcases the striking nobility of Lorraine in 1625, as originally drawn by Jacques Callot and reimagined by Pauquet Frères in the 19th century. Created circa 1860, these prints are part of the esteemed Modes et Costumes Historiques series, celebrated for its accurate and elegant representations of historical dress. The prints depict noble figures in their finest attire, embodying the sophistication and grandeur of the early 17th century in the French province of Lorraine. Each figure is adorned with luxurious fabrics, intricate embroidery, and refined accessories, meticulously rendered with Pauquet Frères’ signature hand-coloring and precise linework. The men wear dramatic capes, plumed hats, and swords, evoking the grandeur of the French court, while the noblewomen dazzle in elegantly tailored gowns adorned with delicate lace and jewelry. These prints were more than decorative pieces when produced; they served as educational illustrations that offered insights into the styles and traditions of past centuries. Today, they are sought after by collectors, historians, and decorators who value their historical authenticity, artistic charm, and cultural importance. They also provide a beautiful focal point for interiors that celebrate classical elegance and refined heritage. Pauquet Frères, active in the mid-19th century, were known for their keen attention to historical accuracy and their ability to capture the grace of bygone eras in vivid color. Their prints remain prized by collectors for both their beauty and the window they offer into the customs and style of French nobility.
