DIABOLINE ESSENCE - c.1925
“On sale here”
Very rare original single-sided domed enamel advertising sign. 50 cm in diameter. “Émaill.Als.Strasbourg.”
The piece is in generally satisfactory condition.
The colors are well-preserved, and the central image is intact.
Partially glossy.
There are slight surface scratches scattered throughout the image, as well as localized chips in the enamel, mainly along the edges; those on the right side also reveal six tiny millimeter-sized perforations.
“A piece that is particularly difficult to find today”
An iconic image that perfectly captures speed and power. A flaming red devil bursts from the hood of a race car speeding at full throttle, its features distorted by acceleration.
The effect of extreme speed is accentuated by dynamic lines, symbolizing the fuel’s responsive performance.
The brand originated at the industrial chemical supply store (formerly J. Diebolt, Successor) in Strasbourg.
Around 1925, this establishment on the Route du Rhin served as a supplier of raw materials to factories in the region.
Bas-Rhin/Grand Est
