CELTIC JEWELRY & ORNAMENTS – RACINET PLATE – 1876 Antique Print

This original 1876 lithograph from Auguste Racinet’s Le Costume Historique showcases an exceptional collection of ancient Celtic metalwork. The meticulously illustrated artifacts include torcs, fibulae, spiral bracelets, combs, pins, rings, and a stunning openwork crown. These ornamental and ceremonial objects reflect the artistry, symbolism, and technical sophistication of Iron Age Celtic culture across Europe.

Published in Paris by Firmin-Didot, this finely detailed sepia-toned plate measures approximately 7.5 x 10.5 inches and is blank on the reverse. Racinet’s arrangement offers both archaeological clarity and aesthetic beauty, making it a valuable reference for students of ancient history, collectors of Celtic art, or anyone interested in early European craftsmanship and adornment.
