Description
A suited, white-haired barman presents a tray of stemware behind a line-up of Cusenier bottles beneath the headline “LIQUEURS DE LUXE” (“Luxury liqueurs”). The bold CUSENIER name anchors the design in a faux architectural frame, suggesting a premium café back-bar display.
Cusenier (noted for its “Oxygénée” range and fruit liqueurs) supplied French cafés and brasseries with branded display pieces; the reverse menu-back usage fits that trade context.
Rendered as a lithographed card sign, the piece uses deep greens and blacks with gold lettering to emulate an inlaid panel; surface scuffs and handling marks are typical for countertop ephemera.
On reverse is printed “Oxygénée Cusenier” and “Bachouet pans”. “Oxygénée Cusenier” is strongly associated with Belle Époque / pre-ban absinthe-era advertising.
