What is a framed victorian poster?

It is an original nineteenth-century printed paper sign or advertisement preserved beneath glass within a frame. These items record historical commerce, typography, and graphic design from the Victorian era. Most examples originate from late nineteenth-century advertising campaigns, capturing the everyday visual culture of the period for modern interiors.

How do I care for antique paper posters?

Keep the framed piece away from direct sunlight to prevent the inks and paper substrate from fading over time. Stable indoor humidity protects the fragile paper from warping or deterioration. Ensure the hanging wire and wall fixings remain secure, as antique frames can be heavy and require proper structural support.

Are these posters original to the nineteenth century?

The listings comprise authentic nineteenth-century printed material, including period advertisements and paper signs from the eighteen-eighties and eighteen-nineties. Each piece dates from the era it represents rather than being a modern reproduction. Examining the paper stock and printing technique helps confirm the historical authenticity of the item.

Where were these posters displayed originally?

Commercial posters and paper signs were typically displayed in shops, public houses, and railway stations to promote household goods and beverages. They served an entirely utilitarian function before becoming collectible decorative objects. Over the decades, survivors were salvaged and framed to protect the fragile paper from destruction.
