About the Item
Dôme Central – French Architectural Lithograph from La Brique, Exposition 1889
Highly decorative architectural lithograph featuring the intricate tile and brickwork design for the “Dôme Central” of the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, as envisioned by architect J. Bouvard. This detailed plate highlights the symmetrical and colorful terracotta motifs that adorned the central dome structure, showcasing the ornamental complexity characteristic of French architectural exhibitions of the Belle Époque.
Originally published in La Brique et la Terre Cuite by architect and author Pierre Chabat, this plate is part of a celebrated series that documents the creative use of brick and terracotta in late 19th-century French architecture. The focus on geometric patterns, rhythmic repetition, and subtle color combinations underscores the era's dedication to uniting form with function.
This print would have served as both reference and inspiration for contemporary architects and designers working with decorative ceramics. Today, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the aesthetic and technical innovations displayed at the Paris Exposition of 1889—an event best known for introducing the Eiffel Tower.
A compelling piece for collectors of architectural history, decorative arts, or anyone with a passion for French design heritage. Its harmonious composition and decorative brickwork also make it a fitting addition to design-forward interiors.
Condition: Very good. Clean sheet with only minimal age-related toning and no tears or stains. Colors remain vivid. A light plate mark is visible.
Framing tips: Pairs beautifully with a slim natural oak or walnut frame and a cream or warm grey mount to enhance the warm terracotta tones and structured geometry.

Dome Brickwork Design from Paris Expo – Architectural Print by Chabat, c.1900
This antique architectural print showcases the intricate decorative brickwork for the Dôme Central of the Exposition Universelle de 1889 in Paris, based on the architectural plans of J. Bouvard and published by Pierre Chabat in La Brique et la Terre Cuite around 1900.
The plate presents a symmetrical and highly detailed tile and brickwork composition meant for the central dome structure of one of the most celebrated World's Fairs. Its striking centerpiece—featuring floral medallions surrounded by red brick, geometric panels, and accents of teal and ochre—reflects the era’s emphasis on ornamental detail, craftsmanship, and grandeur in public architecture.
This print stands as a testament to the merging of utility and decoration in late 19th-century French architecture. These were not merely functional surfaces—they conveyed prestige, innovation, and the elegance of the modern age. The layout is accompanied by scale indicators and labeled sections, making it not only decorative but also an authentic record of the era’s architectural ambition.
