{"product_id":"macedoines-in-cases-with-asparagus","title":"Framed Antique Victorian Cookery Illustration from Cassell’s New Universal Cookery Book","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"109\" data-end=\"434\"\u003eThis framed antique colour illustration is taken from Cassell’s New Universal Cookery Book by Lizzie Heritage, first published in 1896. The print depicts a Victorian dish titled Macédoines in Cases with Asparagus, with asparagus spears rising from a moulded salad of jewel toned vegetables arranged on a footed serving plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"436\" data-end=\"812\"\u003eThe illustration has the soft painterly colour and culinary drama associated with late nineteenth century cookery books, when presentation was a central part of fashionable dining. Macédoine is a classical French culinary term for a mixture of finely diced vegetables or fruit, and this particular dish captures the elaborate style of Victorian and Edwardian table decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"1077\"\u003ePresented in a simple wooden frame, the print is ready to hang or display. It would look wonderful in a kitchen, dining room, pantry, breakfast nook or restaurant style interior, bringing historical character, warm colour and a gentle touch of humour to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1479\"\u003eIt would also sit beautifully as part of a gallery wall with other framed antique prints, vintage menus, cookery ephemera, botanical illustrations or pieces of antique kitchenware. The yellow frame gives the piece a fresh decorative lift, while the subject matter makes it especially appealing for anyone who enjoys food history, Victorian cookery, vintage interiors or unusual wall art with a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1667\"\u003eThe framed print is in good antique and vintage condition, with light signs of age to the paper, frame and backing, all in keeping with its character as a framed historical illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Blue Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53970987876679,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/3921\/9015\/files\/A0AACA54-44A6-4D89-B76F-5995BEE35A29.jpg?v=1779527652","url":"https:\/\/www.theblueloft.co.uk\/products\/macedoines-in-cases-with-asparagus","provider":"The Blue Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
