EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a chair from the 10th century, adorned with an intricately carved backrest and a cushion embellished with elegant tassels. The chair exudes a sense of grandeur and opulence, reflecting the artistic craftsmanship of its time. Accompanying the chair is a scriptorium or inkstand, adding to the historical significance of this image. This writing desk provides insight into the intellectual pursuits of medieval times, where scribes would diligently transcribe manuscripts using stylus and pen on delicate parchment. The presence of paper, ink, and other writing tools further emphasizes the importance placed on knowledge and written communication during that era. The lithograph itself is handcoloured by Villain after an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel from his renowned collection titled "Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France". Published in 1827 by Treuttel & Wurtz Bossange, this collection aimed to preserve French fashion, costume history as well as provide insights into ancient history. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers are transported back in time to appreciate not only the beauty but also gain glimpses into medieval life - from luxurious furniture to scholarly pursuits. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to explore our past through art.
