Description
riginal document from the personal papers of Edward E. Nahon (b. ca. 1881), a New York-based furniture designer and businessman active during the early-to-mid 20th century. Nahon was known for his design work and entrepreneurship during an important era of American business history.
This is an original Louis Sherry advertising card from the 1920s-1930s, promoting his Paris location at 6 Round-Point des Champs-Élysées. Printed on thick stock and measuring approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches, the card lists luxury offerings including Club Breakfasts, Luncheons, Candies, Teas, Ice-Cream Sodas, and “Sherry Special Coffee.” It features the elegant Louis Sherry logo, the full Paris address, and a vintage telephone number (“Elysées 04-37”). The back is blank, consistent with authentic promotional pieces from the period.
Louis Sherry, a legendary figure in American hospitality and confections, expanded into Paris in the early 20th century. Surviving examples of his Parisian advertising materials are extremely rare, making this card a significant piece of early luxury brand history. Its association with Edward E. Nahon further adds to its provenance, offering insight into the lifestyle and business connections of a prominent New York entrepreneur.
The card remains in very good vintage condition, showing only minor signs of careful handling. It is crisp, clean, and displays vibrant printing. Please review all photos for exact condition details.
A unique opportunity to own an authentic, well-preserved piece of personal and business history, ideal for collectors of vintage advertising, Parisian ephemera, and early American commerce.
