About the Item

Regal Engraving of a Knight of the Order of St. Michael, France, 18th Century Description: This exquisite hand-colored engraving depicts a Knight of the Order of St. Michael (Ritter vom Orden des heil. Michaels in Frankreich), a prestigious French chivalric order established in 1469 by King Louis XI. The knight is adorned in an elaborate ceremonial robe, richly detailed with gold accents and green embroidery, featuring the distinctive medallion of the order prominently displayed. His elegant pose and refined features convey the noble dignity of this historic role. The engraving is from "Abbildungen derjenigen Ritter-Orden, welche eine eigene Ordenskleidung haben," a celebrated series on knightly orders published between 1779 and 1791 in Mannheim. The work aimed to provide historical insights into the origins, structure, and significance of these orders, making it a valuable document for historians and collectors alike. The quality of the hand-coloring brings vibrancy to the print, enhancing the rich textures of the ceremonial garments. This engraving captures not only the grandeur of the knightly attire but also serves as a window into the social and cultural values of 18th-century Europe. Condition Report: The engraving is in good condition, with minor age-related toning and faint spots typical of its age. The paper is strong, and the colors remain vivid, retaining their original brilliance. Framing Tip: For an elegant display, consider a dark wood frame with gold detailing and a cream or light green mat to complement the engraving’s colors. A museum-grade glass will preserve the integrity of this historic piece and enhance its aesthetic appeal. This engraving is a perfect addition to any collection of historical prints or chivalric memorabilia, offering a glimpse into the rich history of European knightly orders.
