Large vintage 1950s promotional photograph featuring a Mercedes-Benz 300 S Cabriolet A (W188) in an unusual advertising demonstration created in connection with Mercedes-Benz and Villeroy & Boch. The image depicts the luxury convertible outdoors with beautiful lady seated behind the wheel, while each of the automobile's four wheels rests directly atop an upturned porcelain teacup and saucer. The striking promotional composition was designed to demonstrate the remarkable strength and load-bearing durability of Villeroy & Boch porcelain, dramatically contrasting the substantial weight of the Mercedes-Benz automobile with the delicacy of porcelain teacups. An exceptional mid-century advertising image combining German automotive and porcelain history. Presented in a large frame. Please review photos carefully for condition. Approx. 72" x 48" framed. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the large size of this item, no in-house shipping is available. Local pickup or third-party shipping arrangements are required.
