Vintage Posters - Authentic - The place to find vintage art

Authenticity guaranteed

We trade originals. Only.

Galerie 123 (un deux trois) has been trading original posters for 35 years. From the beginning, the gallery has held many exhibitions and poster collections, for either collectors and museums. This has given us a deep knowledge of paper printing techniques and authenticity of posters. As an expert, Jean-Daniel Clerc works with private collectors and museums. As founding member of the International Vintage Poster Dealers Association IVPDA, Galerie 123 (un deux trois) pledges to conduct its business affairs with integrity and to the highest quality standards.


An authenticity certificate is attached together with the vintage poster. 


A very short life-time.

Advertising Posters were printed in one edition from a few issues to more than one hundred or a few thousand examples, depending on the marketing plan of the companies.The purpose was to promote a company, a product, an event, a city, or for healthcare or political propaganda. After a short life of a few weeks posted on walls, they were covered by other posters pasted over them.
Therefore most copies were destroyed. By chance a few of them were not posted and saved. But as posters were not aimed to be preserved, these original vintage posters are very rare and highly priced. We guarantee the authenticity of all our posters as described in our catalogue.


In some cases the poster was so good that the company re-used the same image for a second advertisement campaign. They needed to re-print posters with the same design. But often, the size, color, support, or technique of printing could be different. These authorized second or third editions had to be done for the same promotional purposes and for the same company.
Some items offered on this website are not posters. They are clearly described as signs, enamels, decorative panels, plates.
