Description
This listing is for a set of three antique hand-colored lithograph fashion plates from Le Follet, one of the most influential Parisian fashion journals of the 19th century. These authentic period prints depict women’s haute couture dress and accessories in exquisite detail, showcasing the elegance of French fashion during the early 1800s. Each print is presented in a vintage gold-tone wooden frame with original matting and paper backing. These appear to have been framed many decades ago by Samson’s Art Center / Painters Picture Framing (label on one backing). The patina, foxing, and aging of paper and matting are consistent with genuine antique lithographs and add to the historical character of the pieces.
