Regal Antique French Costume Print of a Queen, Hand-Coloured in the 19th Century

About the Item

Title: Antique Costume Print of French Queen, 19th Century Description: This beautiful antique costume print portrays a French queen in regal attire, dating from the 19th century. The image is part of the historic collection "Costumes Français, Reine et Roi," based on historical sources and offering a captivating glimpse into medieval fashion. The print was created by the esteemed Pauquet Frères and published around 1860, capturing the grandeur and elegance of 10th-century French court dress. The costume depicted in this antique print represents the fashion of the 10th century in France (X siècle). This is during the medieval period, specifically the early Middle Ages, which is also known as the Carolingian and post-Carolingian era. The style in the print would be worn by queens or noblewomen during this time, showcasing the elegance, color richness, and intricate decoration typical of medieval royal attire. In the print, the queen stands gracefully, draped in luxurious garments that speak to the opulence of the medieval court. Her gown features rich red and green colors, adorned with golden accents and an elegant cloak in deep purple and blue. Her crown and scepter suggest her royal status, while the architectural background of columns and draped fabric adds a classical element. The figure is carefully rendered, with fine lines and delicate shading that highlight the exquisite details of her costume. The presence of a second royal figure in the background lends an added sense of depth and storytelling, further enhancing the narrative quality of this antique print. Such prints were highly sought after in the 19th century for their ability to combine art and history, and they continue to captivate collectors, historians, and decorators today. This hand-colored engraving is a fine example of 19th-century craftsmanship and historical illustration. Its vivid colors, refined details, and historical charm make it a perfect centerpiece for a living room, study, or gallery wall. As an authentic antique piece, it also offers a touch of sophistication and a window into a fascinating past. Condition report: The print is in good antique condition with some gentle foxing and age-toning, consistent with its age. Colors are bright and the image remains crisp and clear. Framing tips: To best display this print, choose a classic wooden or gold frame with an ivory or cream mat. This enhances the warm tones and historical richness of the artwork. Use acid-free backing for preservation and longevity.
