Description from the seller
Old wooden advertising sign for La Marquise Cigarettes, featuring beautiful illustrations in the Belle Époque style.
- Two identical portraits of ladies wearing large black feathered hats, blue earrings and elegant early 20th-century clothing.
- Two blue cigarette packets bearing the inscription La Marquise Cigarettes – Qualité Suprême.
- The advertising text “La Marquise Cigarettes of a ‘vintage’”.
- A warm wood color with visible grain, signs of use and wear along the edges.
- According to our information, it may be a mock-up for the design of this sign.
The signatures
In the detail photos, I can see a printed or drawn signature that looks like “Fernandez Khnop” or “Fernandez King”, with Paris 09 below it.
The sign measures 61 by 51 cm.
There is also a larger, slanted signature or inscription. This was added later.
The reference to Paris 09 may indicate 1909, which would fit the clothing and illustration style. However, this does not automatically mean that the wooden advertising sign itself dates from 1909.
It will be shipped with insurance.
