Orig. ART DECO COCA-COLA FRAME w DOUBLE SIDED 1955 POSTER SIGNED WEIMAR PURCELL
SOLD $265.00 Sold: Aug 27, 2023 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
eBay This is a wonderful and original vintage Art Deco style painted wooden frame with a double sided Coca-Cola poster by noted artist Weimar Purcell (1906-1974).The frame is 21 1/4” x 32 1/4” and the poster measures 16” x 27”. The frame retains its original gold paint, and it has acquired great old color and patina from age. It is complete with the exception of one of the 3/4” diameter gold wooden balls in the lower right hand corner. There is an embossed metal plate at the bottom with a Coke bottle in a circle flanked by leaf clusters. The poster is designed for easy reversal and removal, and the distributor is instructed as to which side should be displayed during which months of the year. The poster is copyright 1955 by the Coca-Cola Company, and I believe the frame is older than that. Purcell had a great artistic career and did many illustrations in the 1930s and 1940s for the Chicago World’s Fair, etc. I am not a specialist in advertising or Coke memorabilia, but I think this sign has good merit. Shipping is calculated Priority mail. There is a 30 day money back inspection period, and email for more information. Thank you. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
