Martini
This ad for Martini was published in 1953 and illustrated by the great Brunetta Mateldi. Born in Italy in 1904, she distinguished herself as an iconic fashion illustrator, her work often centring on hats. Her impressionistic depictions of fashionable women were rendered in a sharp and ironic style and garnered her much praise, including prestigious exhibitions of her work in Italy. Mateldi once said her art allowed her ‘to drink up the eyes, noses, mouths, arms, feet and everything else of other people—beautiful, ugly, good or bad’.

At VAA we deploy modern technology to preserve these antique illustrations. The uniquely hard-wearing frames we use are designed in Switzerland; their durability results from the process of anodising. Anodising is a surface treatment which protects and decorates aluminium using an anodic oxidation process. As a result of this, these frames are especially resistant to corrosion and heat, protecting this vintage art from wear and tear.
We frame each illustration ourselves in our workshop in Lausanne, Switzerland. The float glass we use is crystal clear with a very flat surface and carefully polished edges. The frames are 32.7 × 42.7cm (12.87″ x 16.81″). The result? We present you with a period illustration- a genuine antique- enclosed by a frame of the highest quality. In this way, we like to think we’re bringing modern technology and antique artistry together.
