Framed Charles Verneau Prochainement Chat Noir French Poster
This lot is a framed French poster after Charles Verneau, bearing the title Prochainement and promoting Chat Noir, the Parisian cabaret. The design is presented behind glazing in a light wood-tone frame with a wide pale mount. Buyers seeking French fin-de-siecle style wall art will find it a distinctive decorative piece.
The composition centres on a large black cat seated upon a red banner, with a red patterned halo behind its head. The printed text reads “Prochainement la tres illustre Compagnie du Chat Noir avec ses Pieces d’Ombres Celebres, ses Poetes ses Compositeurs avec Rodolphe Salis”, set in bold black and red lettering on a cream ground. A red border frames the design, and a small signature line appears in the lower corner.
Condition and Collectability
The poster is presented in its frame with glazing and mount, and the frame appears neat and presentable. No further detail on the condition of the paper, the glazing or the frame is given, so prospective buyers are advised to make enquiries before bidding. Originality and print details are not confirmed in this description. The bold graphic design and the Chat Noir theme are likely to appeal to collectors of French posters, Parisian cabaret ephemera and decorative wall art.
