Parfum Tendre Art Print by George Barbier (1922)

Product details

French perfume advertising with a theatrical connection

Bring an interest in 1920s French design into your home with this reproduction of George Barbier’s Parfum Tendre (1922). Created as a perfume advertisement for Rigaud Paris, the artwork connects commercial illustration with fashion and theatrical romance. It is an inviting choice for a dressing area, bedroom or collection of vintage French posters.

About the artwork

The design draws on Pierrot and Columbine, characters associated with the Commedia dell’arte, giving the perfume advertisement a theatrical identity. That connection offers another way to enjoy the work beyond its advertising origins: as part of a collection exploring costume, performance and French illustration. Its saved category details identify an illustrative style, a fashion theme and an Art Deco movement.

Make room for a personal fashion collection

Imagine displaying the print beside a dressing table, with a favourite perfume bottle, soft textiles and a few treasured accessories bringing the surrounding space together. It can add a historical connection to an everyday ritual without requiring the whole room to follow a period theme. The recorded purple, pink and white palette provides a starting point for coordinating companion prints or accessories in related tones.

The vertical orientation can suit a narrower section of wall or help balance a gallery arrangement containing wider pieces. Choose a smaller format to join an existing display, or a larger print to give the artwork a more prominent place. Pairing several Barbier works creates a shared artistic thread while allowing different dates and subjects to sit together in a personal collection.

Paper, printing and finish

This product is a reproduction, not an original 1922 perfume advertisement. It is produced using giclée printing on 200gsm matte art paper, offering a matte paper surface for your chosen display.
