Coeffure Louis XV et XVI
-
This sheet, framed in an antique (but not period) frame under glass, seems to be a specimen/survey plate of coiffures spanning the two reigns, likely made in the later 1780s1790s or in the early Restoration years (c. 18001820s) as a retrospective or reference sheet. Aimed at wigmakers, theatrical costumers, or collectors wanting an overview of recent fashionable hairstyles. Engraved and hand coloured with water colours, there are twenty hairstyles and bonnets of fashionable ladies. The sheet is stained to the top and bottom and has a touch of marking / edgewear to it. The engravings have faded, but this gives quite a nice period appearance. The frame is old, but probably early Twentieth century. It has had woodwork, and has loss to the pattern around it. This helps to give the object "patina." The sheet is 360 by 260mm (14Œ by 10Œ inches). and the frame is 42cm x 32cm. Under old glass. There is a crowned single fleur-de-lis watermark (Lys couronné.) to the sheet of chain laid paper. The sheet ranges from the highly powdered towering styles associated with the grander end of Marie-Antoinette-era fashion on the top row, down to simpler everyday house caps on the bottom row. .
