    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes a poster a collectible vintage poster?

    A vintage poster brings period graphic design, typography and imagery to a room, with the artwork's subject and visual character making it appealing for display. Our vintage posters at Eleish Van Breems Home are kept for their graphic punch; framed ones sit under vintage wall decor.

    Which details matter when choosing a vintage poster?

    When choosing a vintage poster, consider the artwork, subject, scale, colour palette and printing style, along with how it will work within the room; decor to pair sits under vintage decor. Choose a design that suits the intended wall and complements the surrounding pieces.

    How are vintage posters shown as a gallery at home?

    Vintage posters are shown as a gallery at home grouped by theme or palette, in matching frames on one wall, the bold graphics carrying the room; framed versions sit under vintage framed posters. Keep the frames and spacing consistent so the images, not the mounts, lead.

    How should a vintage poster be framed for display? 

    A vintage poster can be framed with a mount and glazing suited to the artwork and its setting; objects to group with sit under decorative objects. Choose a frame that complements the poster without competing with its typography, colours or imagery.
