About the Item

Medieval Textile Patterns – Middle Age Decorative Fabrics, Plate XLVII, c.1869 This beautifully composed chromolithograph from L'Ornement Polychrome (Plate XLVII) showcases an array of richly patterned medieval textile designs. The plate reproduces historical fabric motifs that once adorned ecclesiastical vestments, noble garments, and interior drapery during the Romanesque and Gothic periods. Arranged in a vibrant grid, the patterns highlight: – Ornamental stripes and bands with Latin inscriptions (e.g., "SENIEV") and vine-scroll designs in gold and olive on black – Repeated floral motifs in red and gold on deep blue, as seen in brocade and woven silk of the 13th–14th centuries – Heart-shaped foliate tendrils, stylized fleur-de-lis, and diapered trellis arrangements with ogee curves – Color schemes ranging from earthy reds and olives to jewel-like blues and golds, reflecting the medieval love for visual richness and symbolic color use These textile motifs reflect both Eastern and Western influences and would have been seen in medieval France, Italy, and the Byzantine-influenced regions. The designs were meticulously documented by the 19th-century revivalist movement and here lithographed by Panlevé, with printing by Firmin-Didot et Cie, Paris. An exquisite resource for textile historians, pattern designers, or collectors with a passion for medieval ornament. Condition: Excellent. Some minor toning around edges; image remains vibrant, registration sharp, and colors well-preserved. Framing tips: Consider a deep walnut or black frame to ground the composition, with a linen or cream mat to balance the print’s color saturation. A gold inner border can enhance the historic, regal appearance of the patterns. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Firmin-Didot, Paris, after Albert Racinet, c.1869
