2003 Chanel Fine Jewelry Print Advertisement — Original Venice Lion Column Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This Chanel Fine Jewelry vintage advertisement from the early 2000s deploys one of the most iconic images in European iconography — the winged Lion of St. Mark atop its ancient column in Venice's Piazzetta San Marco — to evoke the eternal prestige of the house's jewelry line. The original print ad strips away all distraction, letting the gilded Chanel logotype and the fog-shrouded monument command the page in complete silence. Chanel's ability to communicate luxury through restraint makes this collectible ad a striking piece for fashion and design collectors who appreciate high-concept editorial advertising at its most refined.
