Creperie Restaurant Auberge De Savoie Print Appraisal

Framed Print: 'Creperie Restaurant Auberge de Savoie' Street Scene

The item is a framed art print depicting an idealized street scene of a European creperie and restaurant. The print is housed under glass within a gold-toned wooden frame. The frame features a classic, subtly ornate profile with a slightly distressed or antiqued finish, suggesting some age or an intentional aged aesthetic. The inner edge of the frame borders a dark green mat board, which serves to visually separate the print from the frame and add depth. The print itself is vibrant, rendered in a warm palette of browns, yellows, and oranges, with hints of green and blue in the foliage and background elements. It portrays the exterior of two side-by-side establishments, 'CREPERIE Auberge de Savoie' and 'RESTAURANT Auberge de Savoie,' suggested by the visible signage above striped awnings. One awning is fully visible, displaying a cream and yellow stripe pattern, while the other is partially obscured. The scene includes outdoor dining with a small round table draped in a yellow tablecloth and two wicker-backed chairs. The foreground features textured cobblestone paving. Details such as hanging flower baskets, reflections in windows and glass, and a menu board on an easel to the left add to the realism and charm of the piece. The overall style is reminiscent of romanticized European cityscapes, often found in decorative art. Light reflections on the glass indicate the presence of a protective glazing. The print appears to be in good condition with no obvious tears, creases, or fading. The frame may show minor signs of wear consistent with handling and age, such as slight scuffs or nicks, particularly along the edges, though none are significantly detracting from its appearance. The quality of the print reproduction appears good, with clear details and color saturation. Given the common subject matter and aesthetic, it likely dates from the late 20th or early 21st century.
