About the Item

Antique French lithograph depicting a Chevalier de l’Ordre de Notre-Dame du Chardon (Knight of the Order of Our Lady of the Thistle) from the Règne de Charles VI (Reign of Charles VI), France, 15th century. This exquisite hand-colored engraving captures the elegance and ceremonial attire of a French nobleman, complete with rich blue robes, an ornate, patterned tunic, and a plumed hat. The plate is delicately signed in the lower right margin and professionally matted in cream and red with a gilt-and-black wood frame. This piece is a fine example of 19th-century French costume prints, often produced for aristocratic collectors and historians interested in heraldry, medieval attire, and royal pageantry. The subject honors the chivalric order founded in 1370 by Louis II, Duke of Bourbon, reflecting the romance and splendor of medieval France. Perfect for collectors of antique French engravings, European costume prints, or framed historical art, this piece adds an elegant, scholarly touch to libraries, salons, or traditional interiors.
