Step into the world of timeless elegance with this exquisite antique cigar label from the early 1900s to 1920s! This stunning piece of vintage ephemera exudes classic charm and grandeur, transporting you to an era of sophistication and luxury. The embossed cigar label showcases intricate detailing that reveals a subtle elegance, making it an absolute treasure for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Measuring 8 3/4" x 6", this rare find boasts an amazing gold embossed design that sets it apart from modern reproductions. During this golden age of cigar manufacturing, many companies used real gold flakes in their embossing process, adding a touch of opulence to these miniature works of art. The result is a shimmering, tactile surface that catches the light and demands attention.
Imagine the impact of displaying this over 100-year-old antique advertising piece on your wall! It's not just a label; it's a conversation starter, a glimpse into history, and a statement piece that adds distinguished presence to any room in your home. Perfect for framing, scrapbooking, or other artistic displays, this embossed cigar label is versatile enough to complement various interior styles.
What makes this antique vintage cigar label truly special is the unparalleled craftsmanship behind its creation. The lithography and embossing techniques employed in its production represent a lost art that modern printing simply cannot replicate. After the 1920s, this level of artistry in advertising materials began to wane, making pieces like this increasingly rare and valuable.
It's no wonder that museums and art institutes dedicate entire galleries to these remarkable artifacts. As more collectors seek to preserve this rich history, the limited supply of authentic antique cigar labels is dwindling. Once these treasures find their way into private collections or gallery displays, acquiring them will become increasingly challenging.
The heavy paper stock used in the production of this embossed cigar label has helped preserve its vibrancy and pristine condition over the decades. This durability ensures that the label remains a stunning piece of vintage memorabilia, looking almost as fresh as the day it was created.
For enthusiasts of antique advertising, cigar aficionados, or anyone with an appreciation for vintage craftsmanship, this embossed cigar label is an absolute must-have. It's not just a collectible; it's a tangible connection to a bygone era of artistic excellence and marketing ingenuity. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of history that continues to captivate and inspire over a century later!
An elegant label that is very uncommon now.
Amazing Gold embossed label. Most companies at the time used real gold flakes in the embossing.
Imagine hanging this over 100-year-old antique advertising on your wall as home decor in any room!
Cigar labels show you what antique advertising is all about with the wonderful graphics that lithography and embossing provided that modern printing just can't reproduce. This was mostly a lost art after the 1920s, unfortunately. Cigar Labels are a reminder of a bygone era, but the amazing lithography process is unparalleled even to this day, in my opinion. Museums and Art Institutes have galleries dedicated to them, and more and more collectors are seeking these out to preserve their history. Once the limited supply for sale is gone and on display with collectors or in galleries, then they will be very difficult to acquire.
My pictures seriously don't do it justice. These had to be done on heavy paper stock, which makes them stay vibrant and new-looking for a long time.
