Understanding Our Print Sizes
Understanding Our Print Sizes
Historical prints vary in proportion based on their original format. Whenever possible, we match them to the closest standard size, using common print ratios like 2:3 (e.g., 8x12) or 3:4 (e.g., 9x12). However, resizing some prints can distort the artwork's integrity, so we can only offer them in their original proportions. Additionally, we use different printers for our product lines, and not all sizes are available with every printer.
Salle à Manger, captures the refined elegance of a vision for a French dining room. Originally published in Une Ambassade Française (1925), this artwork embodies the opulent geometry, rich textures, and exquisite craftsmanship that defined the Art Deco movement at its peak.
Why We Picked It
The design excels in its blending of classical French sophistication with the bold, modernist lines of Art Deco. This attention to detail—from the striking checkered floors to the intricate ceiling framework—make it a good example of the era’s decorative arts. The pochoir technique enhances its vibrancy, with each color meticulously applied by hand. The result is a print that feels both rich and alive, a perfect showcase of how Art Deco interiors balanced luxury and structure.
Notable Context
Created in the aftermath of World War I, the print reflects the cultural optimism of the 1920s, a time of luxury, modernity, and innovation. As Art Deco emerged as the defining style of the era, it embraced streamlined forms, geometric patterns, and rich ornamentation, symbolizing a break from the past and a celebration of the future. This dining room design, featured in the 1925 Une Ambassade Française portfolio, epitomizes the period's desire for both opulence and modernity, capturing the spirit of the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes.
