Editorial Review for Carrandi Vintage Posters – by Karen Rosenberg
The Scene
Carrandi fits right in with its decor-oriented area of Chelsea, but this is no ordinary poster shop. The colorful European graphics on display are authentic vintage advertisements and memorabilia, many from the 19th century; to get an idea of the style, think of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's famous lithographs for Paris cabaret shows.
The Goods
What's on the walls is only a small sample of owners Mario and Susan Carrandi's stock. Leaf through their catalog, organized by themes such as "Wild West" or "Magic" (the latter is a specialty of Mario Carrandi, who also
deals privately in vintage magician's props and costumes). Most of the gorgeous, oversized prints--collector's items all--carry a four-digit price tag, but there's also a table of smaller, affordable pieces in the back. In-house framing lets you take home your cultural artifact ready to hang.
