Vintage Advertising Posters
Vintage advertising celebrates the golden age of the poster ad: hand-painted lettering, bold flat colours, everyday objects turned into icons, cafés, drinks, and travel or workshop scenes. A bold graphic style for wall decor with real character. Printed to order in our workshop in Fayence, on 270 gsm semi-matte photo paper.
This collection has just opened. We are adding our first posters.
Vintage advertising poster: the graphic charm of old-school ads
Which vintage advertising poster should you choose?
Old-style advertising covers very different graphic registers, from drink ads to craftsmen's workshops, so it's better to start from a precise mood rather than a vague theme. Generous typography evokes shopfronts of the past, a simple flat colour recalls counter posters, and a staged object tells a completely different story. Here are a few concrete leads to guide your search:
- Vintage coffee advertising poster
- Old advertising typography poster
- Retro drink poster with flat colour
- Travel poster in old advertising style
- Everyday object poster with a workshop feel
The filters on the left of the page let you refine by format and dominant palette to compare options before deciding.
Where to hang a vintage advertising poster?
This style brings bold tones to living spaces. A few suggestions:
- Kitchen: coffee or drink motif, in 30x40 or 50x70
- Dining room: travel or workshop scene in 50x70
- Office or hallway: typography or graphic flat colour in 21x30
- Living room: a polyptych in 100x140 for a wall that lacks depth
Tip: group two or three similar formats around the same colour palette to create a cohesive shopfront effect without overloading the wall.
Typography or object, how to decide?
Should you favour a composition centred on lettering and words, or a poster featuring an object, a drink, or a travel scene? Lettering works well in a minimalist interior where the graphics alone carry the attention. The illustrated object or scene brings more storytelling and pairs well with a décor already filled with textures and colours. If in doubt, start from the room and its use rather than the motif alone.
Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?
All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image is also available on a metal plate, in several sizes.
- With frame: black, white or light oak, assembled and ready to hang.
- Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
