Champagne Castellane 1922

Toast to a century of elegance with Leonetto Cappiello's 1922 poster for Champagne Castellane, a design that merges classical grace with the modern visual drama that made its creator a legend. The champagne house behind it carries a distinguished history: it was founded in 1895 by Viscount Florent de Castellane and later acquired by L'Union Champenoise in 1907. Cappiello's poster gave this aristocratic brand a face worthy of its pedigree, a striking image that speaks of celebration, refinement, and the effervescent pleasure of the finest bubbly.

There is a delightful story woven into this commission. The viscount was such an admirer of Cappiello's artistry that he became an avid collector of the artist's work, building a notable archive that has since been preserved and occasionally presented to the public. That personal enthusiasm speaks volumes about the poster's quality, for here was a nobleman so captivated by Cappiello's genius that he pursued his designs as treasures in their own right. The result is a work created with unusual care, a meeting of aristocratic taste and commercial artistry at the height of both.

Cappiello, born in Livorno and celebrated in Paris, is widely regarded as the father of the modern advertising poster. He swept away the ornate clutter of the nineteenth century in favor of bold, singular images set against flat, memorable grounds, an approach that transformed the streets of Europe into open-air galleries. His champagne and spirits posters are among the most collected images of the era, prized for their wit, elegance, and graphic power. Champagne Castellane exemplifies his ability to make luxury feel both timeless and thrillingly modern.

It is an ideal choice above a bar cart or drinks cabinet, in a dining room, an entryway, or along a gallery wall of vintage champagne advertising.
