Folies Bergère by Jules Chéret

Celebrate the connection between vintage poster art and Parisian entertainment with Jules Chéret’s advertisement for Fleur de Lotus at the Folies Bergère, dated 1893 in the listing.

Choose it for an appreciation of Chéret’s work or an interest in the cultural atmosphere of Belle Époque Paris.

About the poster

A performance advertisement brings together the worlds of entertainment and illustration, allowing a historical theatre subject to become decorative artwork for the home. The named venue and production provide the poster’s connection to Paris without requiring a particular interpretation of its performance imagery. This product is a modern reproduction for wall display, not an original 1893 advertising sheet, theatre programme or complete publication. No unverified performer identity, edition or collectible provenance is implied.

A Paris-inspired gallery

Imagine placing the print near a favourite chair, with warm wooden furniture, softly textured cushions and books about art or theatre nearby. Its entertainment theme can make the arrangement feel personal without requiring every accessory to follow a period style. Alternatively, introduce it to an entrance hall alongside other French advertisements and Paris-related artwork.

A smaller format can join an established grouping, while a larger print gives the poster a more prominent place. Pair it with other Chéret designs for an artist-led arrangement, or combine different vintage French posters to explore the variety of historical advertising subjects. Matching frames can bring individual works together while allowing their differences to remain part of the appeal. Consider the available wall area and usual viewing distance when choosing your size.

Paper, printing and finish

Produced using giclée printing on quality 200gsm art paper, with a matte finish.

Pair it with

Continue the entertainment-poster theme with Cappiello’s Grand Bal Masqué (1921). Add the Paris Hot Air Balloon poster for another vintage Paris connection, and Paul Renouard’s Ballerina Dance Study to extend a gallery celebrating performance and dance.
