Fabulous and very Art Deco, this Charming and colorful advertisement was originally exhibited as a point-of-sale marketing tool (you can tell this by noting the small hole punched in the middle of the top of the piece where the store owner would have strung some twine through to be able to hang the piece in his store or store window). This maquette would be lovely in a kitchen, country home or gallery. It was used by a company called MBG which made shoe and boot covers, called guetres in French. This ad claims that the MBG products preserve shoes and boots from the rigors of winter, and is signed by Arthur Theo. Dirk. Ready to be shipped, it is printed on hard card stock and is in very good condition - some foxing on the bottom of the piece, along the image line and to its extreme bottom edge - not affecting the image and not surprising considering its age. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, NOT A REPRODUCTION. The size of the maquette is 8 x 10 inches - framed size is 13.25 x 16.25 inches. Please check out the other items we have for sale on this site. We are happy to ship worldwide. E-mail with any questions or requests for additional photos. Thank you for your interest.
