Description
An Exquisite Original Masterpiece for the Discerning Collector: Vintage Oil on Canvas Painting by Elio Ferrara - "Paris Marché Aux Puces"
Enhance your collection with this exquisite, original large vintage oil on canvas by the distinguished Italian artist, Elio Ferrara (b. 1945). This exceptional masterpiece, dating from the 1980s, beautifully depicts a Victorian-era Paris French flea market in all its charm. It is entitled "Paris Marché Aux Puces" or Paris Flea / Antique Market.
Every brushstroke showcases Ferrara’s remarkable attention to detail and masterful technique. The vibrant colours and intricate detail reflect a scene steeped in nostalgia. This captivating painting portrays an autumnal Paris Marché Aux Puces, with stalls laden with antique paintings, books, and curiosities. A bugle player entertains a young girl in a striking green dress, while a lady, umbrella in hand, converses with a porter. Nearby, gentlemen peruse the market’s offerings, intrigued by the selection of books. The tree-lined streets and the unmistakable architecture in the background evoke a timeless French setting.
Expertly mounted in an antique, limed wooden frame adorned with gold gilt detailing, this piece exudes timeless elegance. The frame, of the finest quality, complements the artwork beautifully, adding a sense of sophistication and grandeur to any space.
Elio Ferrara is internationally recognised, with a strong presence in the art markets of America, Germany, France, and Brazil. His pieces are also featured in numerous public and private collections, including embassies, art galleries, and the personal collections of prominent artists, politicians, and distinguished professionals.
Perfect for high-end residential or commercial settings, this pristine painting is ready to grace the walls of a luxurious dining room, grand living area, or executive office. It also makes a striking statement in upscale venues such as boutique hotels, fine dining restaurants, or exclusive reception spaces.
This painting bears a stamp on the back that certifies its authenticity, reading "DIPINTO ORIGINALE - ELIO FERRARA - PER AUTENTICA." Additionally, the reverse side includes the title "Paris Marché Aux Puces" written by hand, along with the artist's signature once more, further confirming its provenance. Originating from a prestigious mansion in the UK, this piece not only boasts a rich history but is also mounted in a frame of exceptional quality, enhancing its overall elegance and making it a true collector's item.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
