Advertising Plaque “Parapluie-Revel” — after Leonetto Cappiello, 1922
Beautiful vintage advertising plaque created after Leonetto Cappiello in 1922, printed as a lithograph on metal to promote Revel brand umbrellas.
Set against a striking bright yellow background, three elegant figures are shown beneath their black umbrellas, viewed from above, in a bold and dynamic graphic composition. The contrast between the luminous yellow ground, the brown-toned silhouettes, and the dark umbrellas creates a particularly strong visual impact, typical of the advertising power of early 20th-century posters and enamelled signs.
This work perfectly illustrates Cappiello’s genius for advertising imagery: a simple, immediately readable idea transformed into a visual icon. Decorative, rare, and highly expressive, this plaque is a fine collector’s piece for enthusiasts of vintage advertising, lithography on metal, and 1920s graphic art.
