This rare and striking original Danish advertising poster features a silver-inked trout leaping through stylized blue water waves, promoting live trout from Oscar Fredericksen’s Fiskehuset No.1, a renowned fish market in Copenhagen.
The vibrant red lettering “Levende Ørreder” (Live Trout) draws immediate attention, balanced by the shimmering silver fish that adds depth and texture — a rare feature in posters of the period. The bold graphic style and striking contrast between colors reflect early 20th-century commercial design with a distinctly Scandinavian flair.
The poster is believed to be designed by Aage Lund in the 1920s, a time when hand-crafted signage and local markets were a key part of urban life.
In excellent for its age. Minor wear only.
This piece would look particularly charming in a kitchen, seafood restaurant, or any culinary-themed interior.
