Description

This vibrant Art Nouveau advertisement poster features a turbaned Indian servant carrying a tray of tea against a warm orange and blue background, promoting 'Thés Palais Indiens' — a French purveyor of Indian teas including Thé-Zenana, Palais Indien, Maharala, and Grand Mogol varieties. The bold decorative lettering, flattened perspective, and exotic Orientalist imagery are hallmarks of Belgian-born Art Nouveau designer Georges de Feure, who was among the leading poster artists of 1890s Paris. The poster advertises direct importation and wholesale pricing, reflecting the fashionable European craze for Indian teas during the Belle Époque era.
