Original Description
The rare menu publicitaire "Benedictine. D.O.M, Le Complement De Tout Repas" by Germaine Bouret exudes the charm of mid-20th century French commercial art. Created to advertise the iconic Benedictine liqueur, this work perfectly captures Bouret's signature style—whimsical figures with elongated proportions, delicate linework, and a playful Art Deco sensibility. The composition likely features elegant diners enjoying their meal, with the Benedictine bottle subtly integrated as the "perfect complement to any meal," radiating sophistication and joie de vivre. As one of the few female commercial artists succeeding in postwar France, Bouret's work represents an important intersection of advertising, decorative arts, and gender history. Though created as ephemera, these menu designs have gained recognition as collectible artifacts of French graphic design history, showcasing how commercial art bridged high and popular culture during the 1950s.
For display, this piece would shine in either a Parisian-style bistro corner or a modern office with retro accents. Its ideal dimensions (typically around 50x70cm) make it suitable for placement above a bar cart, in a dining nook, or as part of a salon-style gallery wall. The artwork's warm vintage tones—likely featuring creams, golds, and Benedictine's signature green—would harmonize with walnut wood furnishings, brass accessories, or emerald velvet upholstery. Frame it in a thin gilt frame to echo its Deco roots, or opt for a minimalist black frame for contemporary contrast. In workspaces, it adds character when paired with mid-century modern desks or Eames chairs, serving as both art and conversation starter about culinary history. For restaurants, it's perfect for bar areas or private dining rooms enhancing the gourmet ambiance.
