Antique French Architectural Chromolithograph – Passage de Porte Bâtarde – Custom Framed

A beautiful antique French architectural chromolithograph from L’Architecture Privée au XIXe Siècle, the celebrated 19th-century architectural publication by César Daly.

This exquisite plate, titled Passage de Porte Bâtarde, illustrates the richly decorated walls and ceiling of an entrance passage in a Parisian residence on Boulevard Saint-Michel. Designed by architect M. Feine, the architectural details showcase the remarkable craftsmanship and decorative artistry of 19th-century France.

The illustration features an elaborate coffered ceiling with deep blue-green panels and delicate starburst motifs, complemented by beautifully detailed wall paneling, classical moldings, floral ornamentation, and a charming central portrait medallion. Rendered in a sophisticated palette of muted blue, sage, warm gold, soft blush, and cream, the lithograph beautifully captures the elegance of historic Parisian interiors.

Professionally custom framed in a warm gilt frame with textured neutral matting and a contrasting French blue inner border that perfectly complements the artwork.

Dimensions: 18” W × 23” H, including frame.

A timeless piece of French architectural history, perfect for adding character and Parisian charm to any interior. Beautiful displayed individually or paired with other architectural lithographs from the collection for a thoughtfully curated gallery wall.
