About This Print
Union Wine Vintage Poster: A Toast to French Advertising History
Bring the sophisticated charm and vibrant colors of mid-century France into your home or commercial space with this magnificent reproduction of the “Les Vins Sélectionnés Union” poster. Created by the celebrated artist Robys (Robert Wolff) in 1950, this artwork epitomizes the playful yet elegant style of vintage European advertising.
The poster captures an infectious joy: two cheerfully smiling waiters, dressed in classic aprons and bow ties, enthusiastically carry a monumental wine glass. This glass is dramatically overflowing with luscious red and golden grapes, symbolizing the rich harvest and quality promised by Union Wines. Each waiter proudly holds aloft a bottle of the product, set against a striking, sun-drenched yellow background that demands attention.
Perfect Decor for Connoisseurs and Collectors
This piece is an essential addition for anyone decorating a wine cellar, home bar, professional restaurant, or high-end kitchen. The bold black text on the bottom translates to “Selected Union Wines In Your Glass,” reinforcing the brand’s commitment to quality. The dynamic composition and rich, saturated colors make this vintage advertisement a stunning focal point, blending historical art with a timeless appreciation for fine wine and excellent service. It’s more than a poster; it’s a piece of nostalgic French culture.
What You're Getting
Premium Quality, Every Print

Genuine heavyweight fine art matte paper — noticeably thicker than standard poster stock. Resists curling and feels substantial on the wall.
Ink & Longevity
75-Year Archival Inks
Fade-resistant pigment inks rated for 75+ years of indoor display — the same technology used in professional photography studios and fine art galleries.

All sizes match standard off-the-shelf frames — IKEA, Target, and Amazon frames fit straight away.
All sizes shown to scale — portrait & landscape orientations
After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
