About the Item

La Brique Architectural Print – Pharmacy & Gymnasium by Charles Chipiez, c.1900 This antique architectural lithograph presents a detailed view of the pharmacy and gymnasium at the École Nationale Professionnelle in Armentières, designed by the renowned French architect Charles Chipiez. Issued around 1900 in the influential series La Brique et la Terre Cuite, edited by P. Chabat, this plate celebrates the decorative and structural potential of brickwork in educational architecture. The design is rendered with precision, showcasing frontal and lateral elevations as well as detailed floor plans. The façades feature geometric gables, elaborate brick ornamentation, and arched windows that give the structure both rhythm and grandeur. The interplay of warm red and buff tones highlights the aesthetic richness achievable through terracotta and brick—a hallmark of the period’s architectural philosophy. Charles Chipiez, more widely known for his archaeological reconstructions, also applied his scholarly rigor to real-world commissions. His work on institutional buildings like this exemplifies the integration of form, function, and ornament typical of France’s late 19th-century civic architecture. This print is an excellent piece for collectors of historic architecture, educational heritage, or decorative arts. It also offers architects and designers a reference to classical proportion and decorative brick techniques. Condition: Very good condition. Light overall age toning and minor wear around the sheet edges. Image area clean, detailed and richly colored. Framing tips: This architectural plate pairs beautifully with a beige or ivory mat and a dark wooden or bronze-toned frame. The contrast will elevate the earthy tones of the brickwork and complement interiors with classic, industrial, or academic character. Overall size: 32 x 45 cm. Image size: 25 x 35 cm.
