A charming decorative poster reproducing a vintage Art Deco advertising design for Perugina, one of Italy's most beloved chocolate and confectionery brands. The composition is playfully whimsical: two little cats sharing a sweet treat by moonlight — an image that perfectly captures the warmth and fantasy of Italian confectionery advertising from the 1920s.
Founded in Perugia in 1907 (140 km from Rome), Perugina built its reputation over more than a century on the quality of its chocolates and confections — most famously the Baci ("Kisses"), the iconic hazelnut and dark chocolate bonbons created in 1922, each wrapped with a love note. By the 1950s, the brand held 20% of the Italian chocolate market.
This poster is a 2000s reprint of an original 1920s design, in perfect condition and ready to frame. It would make a charming addition to any kitchen, dining room, or Art Deco-inspired interior.
This piece is sold unframed, carefully rolled and shipped in a rigid tube to ensure it arrives in pristine condition.
