French Paper Advertising Fan Cognac Sorin 1925
A rare and vibrant piece of French advertising ephemera from the golden year of 1925—this original lithographed folding fan was produced by E. Chambrelent, renowned eventailliste (fan-maker), to promote Cognac Sorin issued at the time of the landmark Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, the fan features a bold and whimsical illustration in the style of a French poster, depicting a Pierrot style figure on a bright blue backdrop
Printed on lithographed paper with original wooden sticks, this fan was never used and remains in excellent condition. It combines the collectible appeal of period advertising with the elegance of early Art Deco graphics and craftsmanship.
For those who love the French Posters of the period but simply do not have the room to display large framed pieces, this is a way to add a "miniature" poster to a collection.
Whether framed, displayed in a bar, or simply admired as a decorative object, this fan is both a celebration of Art Deco’s breakout moment and a delightful relic of French design culture.
