About the Item

Middle Ages Decorative Motifs – Gothic Tile and Border Designs, c.1869 This striking chromolithograph, Plate XLI from L'Ornement Polychrome, presents a rich array of medieval decorative elements used in architectural tiling, paneling, and manuscript illumination. The designs are inspired by the vibrant Gothic and Romanesque art of the Middle Ages, capturing the elaborate aesthetics of ecclesiastical and noble interiors. At the heart of the composition is a dark central tile featuring a stylized gold rooster set within an octagonal frame of interlaced geometric and vegetal patterns. Surrounding it are ornamental borders and repeating motifs, including: – Interlaced scrolls and foliate flourishes with Byzantine influence – Decorative roundels and quatrefoils in jewel tones – Gold and ochre patterns overlaid on deep reds, earthy greens, and cobalt blues – Two opposing quadrant designs with floral motifs reminiscent of cathedral ceiling frescoes – A large vertical panel in pale gold, depicting symmetrical bird-and-foliage designs inspired by textile or tapestry ornament This plate reflects the diversity of medieval European decorative traditions, merging symbolic animal motifs with rhythmic geometric arrangements. The careful symmetry and precision of the designs make them a timeless resource for pattern-makers and historians alike. Published by Firmin-Didot and lithographed by Duran in Paris, this print exemplifies the 19th-century fascination with historic decorative arts, particularly through the monumental work of Albert Racinet. A valuable visual reference for collectors, interior designers, or enthusiasts of medieval design, this plate celebrates the continuity of ornament as both art and craft. Condition: Good. Minor age-related toning to the margins; image area bright and intact. No tears or repairs. Framing tips: A dark wood or gold frame with a soft cream or parchment-colored mat will elevate the contrast and echo the richness of medieval interiors. Ideal for display in a study, library, or design studio. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Firmin-Didot, Paris, after Albert Racinet, c.1869
