Sotheby's is one of the world's oldest and largest brokers of fine and decorative art, jewelry, and collectibles, founded in London in 1744. Renowned for its prestigious auctions, it serves as a global marketplace for rare and valuable items.
The "International Car Auctions" in the poster signifies their role in the burgeoning collector car market, offering rare and significant automobiles to a global clientele of enthusiasts and investors.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.
When framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.
These posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
