La Milanaise - Advertising sign - Metal

Amazing! The item offered at auction is a vintage Art Deco style advertising sign reproducing the famous 1920s poster for the French shampoo "La Milanaise," illustrated by the artist John Onwy or Oney. The image shows a playful Art Deco scene in which a blond boy pours shampoo foam onto the head of a pouting girl seated on a stool. The subject depicts old advertising posters, highly sought after by collectors as retro decor objects. The sign bears the Cartexpo Editions brand, the best publishing house of vintage reproductions. The exact temporal placement of the sign is unknown, as it comes from a private collection and since it is not possible to fully confirm the origin, the time interval has been added based on the product’s visual style, as the option “unknown age” is not available. The sign consists of a wall-mounted plaque, entirely metal, and presents in good overall aesthetic condition with a superb shine and slight signs of wear that do not affect the beauty of the object but rather attest to its age. The sign is vintage, never restored, with its original patina. The sign represents a work of art, with a beautiful font, wonderful characters, and splendid coloring. Its dimensions are 40x30x0.5 cm with a weight of about 0.3 kg. La Milanese was a famous French bath soap. The original John Oury poster is an iconic advertising Art Déco image much loved for being funny and “tender.” The artist, the graphics, and the Brand make this object highly decorative, intended for poster and advertising collectibles or for furnishing as a statement piece for a bathroom, children's room, or kitchen in vintage style. Bistro, pub, bar, pastry shops, confectioneries, groceries, and themed environments. The photos are an integral part of the description. Item seen and liked with photographic documentation and in its current state of use always documented with photographs.
