Café Jacqmotte – An Elegant 1896 Belgian Coffee Poster by Fernand Toussaint

Bring the refined beauty of Belgian Art Nouveau into your space with Café Jacqmotte, a magnificent 1896 advertising poster by painter and illustrator Fernand Toussaint.

The composition centers on an elegantly dressed woman holding a small coffee cup in one hand and its saucer in the other. Her lowered gaze and delicate gesture suggest a quiet moment of appreciation, while a ribbon of white steam rises from the cup and curves gracefully across the dark background.

Toussaint dresses the woman in a luminous golden-yellow ensemble accented with soft lavender, rose, orange, and blue. A large decorative hat crowns her flowing auburn hair, while an oversized red flower at her shoulder adds a vivid focal point. Her elongated fingers, stylized profile, and gently curved posture embody the sophisticated feminine imagery associated with the Art Nouveau era.

Behind her, enormous dark green lettering spells “Café,” its curling lines merging with the swirling background. The name Jacqmotte sweeps diagonally across the lower half in bold, expressive script, integrating the brand directly into the folds and movement of the woman’s clothing. Bruxelles appears near the lower-right corner above the artist’s signature.

The poster’s flat areas of brilliant color, flowing contours, decorative typography, fashionable model, and unified surface design make it an outstanding example of Belgian Art Nouveau advertising. Rather than depicting coffee production or packaging, Toussaint associates the Jacqmotte brand with elegance, taste, warmth, and cosmopolitan Brussels society.

This museum-grade reproduction creates a sophisticated focal point for kitchens, coffee bars, cafés, dining rooms, breakfast nooks, libraries, dressing rooms, restaurants, and interiors inspired by Art Nouveau or Belle Époque design.
