Description
This is a Beautiful Antique French print, with a romantic scene, framed (behind glass) in antique gilded frame. The print is executed in sepia, a range of brown tones. The frame is made of wood, covered with plaster (gesso), gilded with gold leaf. Very beautifully executed in Rococo style. Estimated age: circa 1880-1890.
There appears to be an aged label on the back. Based on what I ca see it could be from Braun, Clément & Cie, a prominent French firm that specialized in high-quality reproductions of artwork during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The label prominently mentions "RAUN, CLÉMENT & J, SUCC," which likely refers to Braun, Clément & Co. or its successors.
The firm was renowned for its vast collection of photographic negatives"”numbering over 100,000"”covering major European museums and art galleries. They were particularly known for using advanced orthochromatic methods to achieve highly accurate art reproductions.
The company was a major "Maison" (house) based in Paris. The label mentions "Place de la... Grand," which may refer to a specific gallery or shop address they occupied in the city.
Potential Context of the Label
Labels of this type were typically affixed to the back of framed art prints or within catalogs to identify the source of the reproduction. The presence of "MAISON" and the names of the partners suggests this was a high-end, established commercial art publisher common in the Victorian and Belle Époque eras.
