Description

They say that every antique object has a story… This antique plate painting not only adorns, but narrates the silenced echo of a powerful woman: Françoise d’Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon, secret wife of the Sun King, Louis XIV. In her printed gaze are centuries of palace secrets, Versailles court intrigues and the discreet charm of a brilliant and ruthless era.

The print, of French origin and dated in the 19th century, retains that beautiful wear and tear of time that we love so much. The current framing has been carefully chosen to elevate the piece without detracting from its prominence: a blue striped fabric passe-partout on a white background that brings freshness, luminosity and an unexpected touch of modernity to the whole.

This painting is a jewel for those who value unique pieces with soul, ideal for classic, romantic or eclectic decorations, and for spaces that are looking for more than decoration: they are looking for conversation, history, character.

If you are imagining how it would look in your living room, in your reading corner or next to that vintage chest of drawers… stop by our online store or come and see us. We will help you to integrate it with love in your home.
