Product Details

An authentic 1919 French magazine advertisement for Poudre de Riz de Ramsès, a luxurious face powder produced by the Parisian perfume house Ramsès, located at 30, rue d’Hauteville, Paris. This beautifully designed advertisement features the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza accompanied by the slogan “Parfumée au Secret du Sphinx” (“Perfumed with the Secret of the Sphinx”), perfectly capturing the Egyptian Revival movement that swept Europe in the early twentieth century. With elegant Art Nouveau typography transitioning into the emerging Art Deco style, this original advertisement represents the golden age of French luxury perfume marketing. Professionally framed with a rich blue mat and gilt frame, it is ready to display and would make an exceptional addition to collections of antique advertising, perfume history, Egyptomania, or French decorative arts.
