Description
Elevate your wine bar, cellar, or dining space with this stunning original 1964 Alain Gauthier vintage wine bar lithograph—an authentic piece of mid-century French beverage advertising that captures the elegance and sophistication of 1960s wine marketing.
This exceptional vintage wine poster showcases the iconic imagery that defined mid-century French design: a captivating blonde woman poised with a glass of Clairet Postillon wine, set against a striking blue background. The composition combines bold typography with refined illustration work, creating an immediately striking focal point for any interior. The artist’s mastery of color and form demonstrates why vintage French beverage posters remain highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts worldwide.
Authenticity & Condition:
This is an original lithograph—not a reproduction. Created in 1964 by Alain Gauthier (1931–1971), a notable mid-century French poster artist, this piece is a genuine period advertisement from the Aubiers winery in France. The poster measures 15.75″ x 47″, an elegant horizontal format perfect for long wall spaces, gallery installations, or prominent display in wine bars and restaurants.
The poster arrives linen-backed and archival-mounted, meeting professional conservation standards. While it features a restored tear on the left side (approximately 4″), this minor restoration does not detract from the poster’s visual impact or authenticity—in fact, such conservation work is typical for posters of this era and speaks to the care taken in preservation.
About the Printer & Design:
Printed by El De La Vasselais, Paris (16 Rue Cimarosa), this lithograph represents the quality craftsmanship of Parisian printing houses. The Clairet Postillon branding suggests a lighter French red wine, while the sophisticated design elevates it beyond typical beverage advertising into genuine art territory. The mid-century aesthetic—clean lines, bold color blocks, and stylized human figures—makes it as relevant to contemporary interior design as it was in 1964.
Perfect For:
- Wine bar and cellar décor
- Hospitality and restaurant design
- French vintage collectors
- Mid-century modern enthusiasts
- Gallery and museum presentations
- Retro kitchen or dining room displays
