Description
Own a true rarity with this authentic Jean d’Ylen Charleston vintage poster standee, a unique original vintage poster discovery in die-cut display format. Designed by celebrated French master Jean d’Ylen, born Jean Paul Beguin in Paris in 1886, who succeeded Cappiello as house artist for Vercasson in 1922 and produced over 200 exuberant posters for Waterman, Shell, Bally and Sandeman. His Rhum Charleston, Bordeaux design circa 1925 captures Jazz Age exuberance with flamboyant product personification at its finest.
The visual is unforgettable. A striding colonial town crier in a powdered wig wears a blazing golden-yellow coat with red-and-white striped cuffs, scarlet lining, a red staff, and bow shoes, displaying a white star badge against a deep forest-green ground. Bold vertical CHARLESTON lettering anchors the edge for instant distance impact. This is no flat sheet: as issued as a shop standee, it features original diecut assembly cuts at the base and arms, engineered to fold so the figure stands level and lifelike when displayed.
Offered among our authenticated vintage posters for sale, this coveted antique poster example shows only a few light scratches consistent with age and handling. The folds and cuts are intentional, not damage, allowing correct three-dimensional assembly. As a certified vintage poster, it includes a Certificate of Authenticity and is ideal for conservation framing.
Perfect for Rhum, Jazz Age, and French advertising collectors, bars, and gallery walls, this singular standee delivers historic theatre and decorative power. For lovers of authentic vintage posters seeking the unmatched, this is an exceptional opportunity to own and display proudly today.
