Description from the seller
An impressive and highly decorative large-format vintage advertising wall plaque dedicated to Partagás, one of Cuba's most prestigious and historic cigar brands, established in Havana in 1845.
Measuring an impressive 70 × 50 cm, this remarkable piece stands out for its elaborate craftsmanship, richly textured materials, heraldic symbolism and striking three-dimensional composition.
The plaque comes from an Italian specialist tobacconist dealing in premium cigars, tobacco products and smoking accessories.
Elaborate Multi-Material Construction
Unlike conventional printed advertising signs, this substantial wall plaque has been created using a sophisticated combination of wood, board, leather, suede-like material and individually applied decorative elements.
The rectangular composition features a beautifully textured, warm tobacco-brown suede-like background, surrounded by a raised brown border and an intricate cream-coloured zigzag ornamental trim.
At its centre is a magnificent, oversized heraldic shield, constructed in several raised layers and outlined with contrasting brown, black and natural leather-coloured borders.
The shield's interior is divided into geometric sections covered in a rich burgundy-red, velvet-like material, creating a beautiful contrast with the warm brown background.
The combination of colours, materials and overlapping decorative elements produces an impressive sculptural effect.
Historic Partagás Imagery
The centrepiece is a vibrant golden-yellow panel featuring the celebrated historic Partagás cigar label, prominently displaying the inscription:
FLOR DE TABACOS – DE PARTAGAS Y Cª – HABANA
Above the inscription appear two crowned heraldic emblems, while the central oval is surrounded by an elaborate arrangement of gold-coloured medal motifs, recalling the international distinctions traditionally featured in prestigious Cuban cigar advertising.
The yellow background features fine reddish decorative lines, giving the central composition additional texture and visual interest.
This historic graphic identity is one of the most recognisable elements associated with Partagás and reflects the long-standing prestige of the Havana cigar-making tradition.
Remarkable Decorative Details
Particularly attractive is the large, individually applied crown positioned above the central shield.
Crafted in several layers of contrasting golden-brown and burgundy materials, the crown features small perforated details, diamond-shaped red accents and carefully shaped ornamental contours.
The upper section of the shield is further enhanced by radiating raised strips that follow the geometric composition of the burgundy background.
Two additional decorative motifs complete the lower corners of the plaque:
Lower left: An elegant, stylised fleur-de-lis in golden-brown leather, a traditional heraldic symbol.
Lower right: An elaborate ornamental composition featuring a crown-like element and a diagonally positioned, richly textured decorative object, reminiscent of ceremonial heraldic ornamentation.
Both motifs are individually applied rather than simply printed, further emphasising the plaque's layered construction.
The decorative borders are equally noteworthy, with scalloped cream-coloured edging and carefully arranged leather strips following the outline of the central shield and the perimeter of the plaque.
These numerous details make the piece particularly interesting when viewed up close, revealing the complexity of its construction and the variety of materials used.
Condition
The plaque has been preserved in attractive vintage condition, retaining its impressive decorative character, vivid central graphic and richly textured surfaces.
The leather and suede-like materials show natural signs of age, including some surface variations, minor marks, patina and occasional wear consistent with previous display.
Some localised wear and slight irregularities are visible around the upper crown and decorative borders, as illustrated in the detailed photographs.
The central Partagás image remains particularly vibrant, with its bright yellow background, historic lettering and gold-coloured medal decoration clearly visible.
The applied ornamental elements retain their distinctive three-dimensional appearance.
Please examine the detailed photographs carefully, as they accurately illustrate the materials, craftsmanship and condition of the plaque.
