1875 Chromolithograph Metal Openwork Carving Design 17th Century Louis III LOR1

This is rare original 1875 color chromolithograph that depicts some of the openwork designs and carvings from the style of Louis XIII (sometimes referred to by the French Louis Treize). These intricate patterns and swells of leafy motifs create an organic, windblown form of decoration that is extremely pleasing to the eye. A unique feature of this illustration, which may be difficult to see in the digital image, is the use of gold and silver ink that not only shimmers when it catches the light but also accentuates some of the finer details which might otherwise be missed.
