A charming French menu card dated 14 October 1930, featuring an elegant Art Deco-style illustration of a fashionable lady in flowing pastel dress.

Opening the card reveals an original handwritten menu together with the names of guests attending the occasion, transforming this from a simple menu into a fascinating glimpse of a single social gathering nearly a century ago.

The menu includes refined French dishes such as consommé, sole de Dieppe, pâté de foie gras, haricots verts and pommes rissolées, followed by desserts including Crème Hélène and Crème Daron. Several names remain legible, including members of the Daron family, suggesting a family celebration or formal luncheon.

The cover illustration perfectly captures the elegance and decorative style of the late Art Deco period, while the handwritten contents preserve a small piece of everyday French history.

Whether displayed framed, added to a collection of vintage paper ephemera, or treasured as a historical curiosity, it offers a wonderful connection to a specific day in 1930.
