Billiards & France Wall Art

From 1969, this evocative photograph captures a sun-drenched moment at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on the French Riviera, where sleek wooden speedboats line the pier in quiet anticipation. Set against the serene expanse of the Mediterranean Sea, the scene embodies the effortless glamour and leisurely sophistication that defined the Riviera lifestyle during this golden era. Waterskiers carve through the calm waters, weaving a narrative of freedom and exhilaration amid one of Europe’s most iconic luxury destinations. The image reflects a time when the hotel was a magnet for the world’s elite, blending natural beauty with a vibrant social culture. Slim Aarons, renowned for his evocative photographs of, as he described it, "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places," was the quintessential chronicler of high society. After serving as a war photographer, Aarons turned his lens to a new landscape: the glamorous lives of Hollywood elites, Palm Beach socialites, and jet-setting debutantes and princes. His work for society publications captured an aspirational world of leisure and luxury that defined the American upper class throughout the mid-20th century, creating images that remain timeless symbols of sophistication and style. The photograph is presented as a high-resolution scan of the photo's original photographic slide, complete with hand-lettered archival notations along the mount. Offered exclusively by Soicher Marin, this edition preserves the full character of the original format, transforming it into a striking piece of wall art that merges history, authenticity, and timeless style. More than a photograph, it is a curated artifact of American cultural glamour, bringing a refined yet playful sophistication to any well-appointed interior. Every piece in our unique Slim Aarons collection is meticulously handcrafted using archival materials and printed on premium, luster photographic paper with environmentally safe inks, custom framed by skilled artisans who ensure that each work of art meets the exacting standards befitting such an iconic photograph.

"A striking and richly detailed architectural lithograph for a gilded game room, this antique French print captures the ceiling design for a salle de billard (billiards room) in a Louis XVI-style Parisian hôtel particulier. Executed with vibrant pigments — including true accents of gold, brick red, and turquoise — the composition reveals the grandeur and precision of 19th-century decorative design. The piece is marked with extensive architectural details and provenance, including the series title “L’Architecture Privée au XIXᵉ Siècle (Troisième Série)” by César Daly, architect. The lower inscription reads: “Salle de Billard, Hôtel, Boulevard Exelmans, à Paris – Plafond, par MM. Edm. Guillaume, Archte. & Ouri, Peintre Décorateur.” Lithographed by Charpentier and printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris. A rare and visually arresting example of historic French interior design, this lithograph is part of a legacy of private architectural commissions and remains a reference point for connoisseurs and collectors. Ready to be framed and displayed as an objet d’art, it offers both historic resonance and vibrant visual impact. Newly and professionally framed in an ornate gilt frame with delicate Rococo-inspired scrollwork, the lithograph is set within a recessed archival matte with a fine gold inner border. This presentation not only enhances the vibrancy of the piece but elevates it to gallery-worthy status. In excellent condition and ready to hang, it makes an extraordinary statement in a study, gallery wall, or richly layered interior."
