About the Item

This elegant 1935 Les Cafés Jules Ferry French advertising poster, created by celebrated illustrator Georges Nicolitch, is a superb example of Art Deco glamour in commercial design. Featuring a stylish, fair-haired woman leaning towards a steaming cup of coffee, the composition captures both sophistication and sensual warmth. The dramatic contrast of deep black, soft cream tones, and bold red accents exemplifies Nicolitch’s refined command of light and form, drawing the viewer directly into the indulgent pleasure of freshly roasted coffee. Les Cafés Jules Ferry, based in Marseille, was known for its daily coffee roasting (“torréfaction quotidienne”) and maintained two retail shops on Rue d’Aubagne—one of the city’s historic shopping streets. The poster’s confident typography and upscale aesthetic reflect the café’s ambition to present its products as synonymous with quality, modernity, and urban refinement during a flourishing period for French advertising. Georges Nicolitch, active in the early- to mid-20th century, produced striking posters characterised by elegant figures, sharp silhouettes, and a strong Art Deco sensibility. His designs often balanced glamour with commercial clarity, making his work especially prized among collectors of vintage French advertising. This rare original lithograph is an exceptional acquisition for enthusiasts of Art Deco, French café culture, or distinguished European poster art. Stylish, atmospheric, and beautifully executed, it remains as captivating today as it was in 1935. This original vintage advertising poster has been professionally linen-backed and is sized 45 x 62 inches (plus a little more including the linen-backing). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
