This is a beautiful advertising mirror for vintage Nicolas Vins De France wine, which can also double as elegant Victorian-style wall art. The mirror features colourful, bold fonts in a mix of orange shades and an intricate picture of the Paris shop address with a couple enjoying their evening. The thin golden border adds to the mirror's overall charm.
The frame has a mid-coloured sleek design, and the mirror is in excellent vintage condition with minimal signs of authentic patina.

The story begins at a time when people used to drink wine at taverns or wine shops. If they wanted to eat at home, they had to go directly to a wine merchant or producer to buy a barrel. During that time, Louis Nicolas came up with a new concept in wine sales that revolutionised the habits of consumption and trading: bottled wine.
The Nicolas House was founded in 1822 and had a leading shop at 53 rue Sainte-Anne, along with three depots in Paris. The house's reputation was built on providing superior and consistent quality at a reasonable price.
Nicolas is a French wine specialist established in Paris in 1822 and has been operating in London since 1989. The chain has grown to include over 400 branches throughout France and several branches in the UK, Belgium, Germany, and Poland. In 1988, Nicolas was bought by Groupe Castel.
Nicolas has 530 stores in major towns and cities throughout France and abroad, including seven branches in London—the store stocks over 1,200 wines, champagnes, and other alcoholic beverages.
