About the Item

Knight of the Golden Stole in Ceremonial Robe, from "Illustrations of All Spiritual and Secular Orders" (1779–1791) This finely hand-colored engraving depicts a Knight of the Golden Stole (Ritter von der goldenen Stole) in an opulent ceremonial robe. The figure stands poised, adorned in a vibrant red robe trimmed with rich fur and intricately designed gold embroidery, symbolizing his distinguished rank. The elegance of his costume reflects the high status and solemnity of his order. Holding a cap, his dignified posture exudes authority and grace. This engraving originates from the monumental work "Illustrations of All Spiritual and Secular Orders," published between 1779 and 1791 as individual booklets. The series, compiled by Christian Friedrich Schwan, offers a detailed account of the attire and significance of various religious and chivalric orders across Europe. Created during a time when such visual documentation was rare, this series serves as an essential resource for understanding historical costumes and hierarchical systems. The engraving showcases the meticulous artistry and attention to detail characteristic of 18th-century European prints. The work remains a testament to the enduring appeal of historical documentation and the vibrant culture of chivalric orders during the period. Condition Report: Fine condition with light age-related toning, faint foxing in the margins, and minor edge wear. The hand coloring remains vivid, with no significant damage to the engraved surface. Suitable for framing and display. Matting and Framing Tip: Enhance the engraving with a cream or ivory acid-free matting to complement its warm tones, paired with a classic gilded or dark wood frame. This combination will highlight the richness of the red robe and the intricate details, ensuring it becomes a focal point in any setting.
