EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and opulent costume of a Merovingian queen from the 5th to the 8th century. Adorned with regal elegance, she wears a resplendent golden crown atop her long, smooth hair that is expertly braided into a mat extending down to her knees. Her attire consists of a fitted camisa accentuating her hips, embellished with beautiful gold embroidery. A striking gold embroidered belt is knotted around her waist, mirroring the exquisite detailing on the neckline and wide sleeves. The queen's ensemble also includes a long corset known as gipon, enhancing her figure while maintaining an air of gracefulness. Draped over her shoulders is a chlamyde, adding an additional layer of grandeur to this majestic attire. This remarkable depiction was created through color engraving after sculptures found in Cathedrale de Chartres. It originates from "France and the French through the centuries" by Augustin Challamel, F. Roy editor in Paris back in 1882. The photograph belongs to Selva Collection and was taken by Leonard de Selva. Immerse yourself in history as you gaze upon this mesmerizing representation of Merovingian fashion—a testament to the splendor and sophistication embraced by queens during this era.
