Finding the Right Posters for You
Add a welcome personal touch to your space and tie your distinctive interior scheme together by introducing antique and vintage posters to any and every room of your home.
In the late 19th century, following the advent of text-heavy posters printed from woodblocks for use in taverns and shop windows, hand-drawn poster art had become commonplace in regions such as France, England and the United States. Well-known illustrators were commissioned to produce decorative posters to advertise political campaigns, theatrical events, books, household goods and other items. Early poster artists used a printmaking technique called lithography, which sees drawings or paintings created on a stone (or metal) surface with an oil-based substance, such as a greasy crayon or tusche (an oily wash). The image is eventually affixed to the surface by means of a chemical reaction, and ink adheres to certain sections of the surface while non–image areas are made to repel the ink.
If you wanted a color lithograph in the early days, the number of stones prepared had to match the number of colors you commissioned for the poster. French painter Jules Chéret, widely known as the father of the modern poster, designed some of history's most popular lithographic posters that featured color. Today, Chéret’s art is highly collectible, along with original works by Czech painter and decorative artist Alphonse Mucha, whose posters advertising theatrical productions helped define Art Nouveau.
Over time, poster artists transitioned to more advanced techniques. Using silkscreens, woodblocks and photolithography, painters and illustrators printed larger quantities at a faster rate.
If you’ve finally tracked down that vintage movie poster, mid-century modern promotional travel poster or other work and you’re looking to find out if it is valuable, distinguishing between an original poster and a reproduction can be complicated. A professional appraiser can work with you on factors such as rarity, assessing the physical condition of your poster and authenticating your piece. For now, take care of your new acquisition because conserving posters is essential in helping them retain their value. A practical conservation method is to have the work mounted on archival, acid-free paper and thin artist’s canvas, then enclosing it in a sturdy frame. (And here is a primer on how to hang wall art, be it arranged gallery-style or otherwise.)

- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024No, Louboutins aren't the only shoes with red soles. Although the luxury French fashion house has trademarked red-bottomed shoes for women, other brands are permitted to have red soles, provided the rest of the shoe is also red in color. The matter was decided by a court battle between Christian Louboutin and Valentino. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Christian Louboutin shoes.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024The brand of shoes that are often called red bottoms is Christian Louboutin. The now-revered red sole emerged with designer Christian Louboutin's third collection when he noticed an assistant painting her nails bright red. He tried applying the polish to a sole and was enamored with the results. Soon, his glossy, red-bottomed heels were all the rage in the fashion world. Explore a selection of Christian Louboutin shoes on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024No, Louis Vuitton shoes are not known for having red soles. Rather, Christian Louboutins are known for their signature red soles, which are commonly called red bottoms. The iconic red-soled shoes by Louboutin have made it onto almost every red carpet since the French designer opened his first boutique in Paris in 1992. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of vintage Louboutins and other designer shoes for sale.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024No, not all Louis Vuitton shoes are red on the bottom. In fact, the French luxury fashion house isn't known for red bottom shoes at all. Rather, Christian Louboutin is the brand associated with red-soled shoes, commonly called red bottoms. On 1stDibs, find vintage Louboutin heels and other Louboutin shoes from some of the world's top boutiques.
