Original advertising poster “Fiksit-Fourmi Agricole” – hard cardboard (33 × 43 cm)
Charming vintage French advertising panel, preserved in good condition with normal signs of age.
Rare and evocative advertising card for the agricultural product Fiksit-Fourmi, a historic brand specializing in the destruction of ants in the countryside. The highly dramatic graphics include a realistic hand, an illustrated jar, and the effect of the blue liquid spreading across the ground, in true 1940s and 1950s advertising style.
Features:
• Material: hard cardboard
• Dimensions: 33 × 43 cm
• Print: deep and well-preserved colors
• Original side holes for fixing/display
• Neutral back, as in the original
Conditions:
Good overall condition: minor wear on the edges, minimal signs of aging, and light abrasions consistent with age and promotional use. The surface is stable, the colors are still bright, and there are no visible restorations.
Why it's interesting:
French agricultural advertising panels are highly sought after today for their powerful aesthetic and the iconography typical of the era, often associated with products no longer in use today. "Fiksit-Fourmi" is a rare and highly decorative subject, ideal for collectors of posters, vintage advertising, industrial graphics, and historic packaging.
Perfect for hanging, collecting or displaying as a vintage decorative piece.
