Title:
Antique French Costume Prints of Nobles from Lorraine, 1625, Published c.1860
Description:
This captivating set of antique French costume prints showcases the striking nobility of Lorraine in 1625, as originally drawn by Jacques Callot and reimagined by Pauquet Frères in the 19th century. Created circa 1860, these prints are part of the esteemed Modes et Costumes Historiques series, celebrated for its accurate and elegant representations of historical dress.
The prints depict noble figures in their finest attire, embodying the sophistication and grandeur of the early 17th century in the French province of Lorraine. Each figure is adorned with luxurious fabrics, intricate embroidery, and refined accessories, meticulously rendered with Pauquet Frères’ signature hand-coloring and precise linework. The men wear dramatic capes, plumed hats, and swords, evoking the grandeur of the French court, while the noblewomen dazzle in elegantly tailored gowns adorned with delicate lace and jewelry.
These prints were more than decorative pieces when produced; they served as educational illustrations that offered insights into the styles and traditions of past centuries. Today, they are sought after by collectors, historians, and decorators who value their historical authenticity, artistic charm, and cultural importance. They also provide a beautiful focal point for interiors that celebrate classical elegance and refined heritage.
Pauquet Frères, active in the mid-19th century, were known for their keen attention to historical accuracy and their ability to capture the grace of bygone eras in vivid color. Their prints remain prized by collectors for both their beauty and the window they offer into the customs and style of French nobility.

Located in Langweer, NL
Title: French Regional Costumes – Bretons, Parisians and Savoyard, c.1845
This charming mid-19th-century hand-colored lithograph illustrates the regional diversity of traditional French costumes, taken from the rare Parisian publication Le Monde en Estampes: Types et Costumes des Principaux Peuples de l’Univers, issued around 1845–1850. The lithograph was executed by J. Bocquin after drawings by Fossey, printed by Lemercier in Paris, one of the most respected lithographic ateliers of the century. Published by Amédée Bedelet, this series presented detailed portrayals of national and regional dress from across Europe and beyond, accompanied by text by Élisabeth Müller.

To their left, a seated woman from Caux wears a tall white headpiece, while another figure represents a Marin Maconnaise from Burgundy. At the center and right, mountaineers from the High Pyrenees converse with Parisians dressed...
