Description
This striking original St. Raphael Quinquina vintage poster, circa 1930, exemplifies the bold graphic language of Art Deco aperitif marketing. The composition features dynamic silhouettes—a red figure and a cream figure—holding bottles and glasses in a gesture of convivial celebration, embodying the spirit of French café culture and social refinement. The vibrant color contrast between a deep teal background, brilliant red, and ivory silhouettes creates immediate visual impact and memorable brand presence.
St. Raphael established its fame through legendary marketing campaigns dating back to 1830, achieving major success at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. By the 1930s, the brand had become synonymous with the animated cafés, lively bistros, and village dances that defined French social life. This original quinquina poster captures that golden era when a glass of St. Raphael represented friendship, conviviality, and the joie de vivre of interwar France.
This is an authentic original lithograph vintage poster, not a reproduction. The piece measures 9.5 x 13.5 inches and has been professionally conserved with archival linen backing to preserve the bold lithographic detail and vibrant color saturation. The poster is presented in an acid-free 16 x 20 folder for protection and display, remaining in excellent condition.
