Bidspirit auction | SPA MONOPOLE | EMAILSCHILD | ZUSTAND

SPA MONOPOLE | EMAILSCHILD | ZUSTAND (1++) - Condition (1++) | Enamel sign, stenciled and lithographed, BE /NL 1949/50, 65 x 101 cm, Emaillerie Belge, signed: d'après Jean d'Ylen. A SPA Pierrot may be a recurring motif in the world of vintage advertising, as is evident in this auction as well. But when we speak of a so-called ”Black SPA” - that is, the early version on a deep black background - the deck is reshuffled, and rarity comes into play. If the text, traditionally in French, changes to Flemish or Dutch, even the most experienced of the scene grow restless. When you combine all of this with a condition that is, as in this case, unparalleled, you have to call it pure magic. The visual impact of this piece is immense, the intensity of the colors is literally stunning, and the quality is simply enchanting. There are no distracting scratches, enamel flaws, or damages. It is simply pure delight and, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful pieces we have ever had the privilege of offering you. | We do only sell originals, no replicas or fakes. | Worldwide shipping possible for most items - wooden boxes available.
