Pétrole Stella Poster (c.1920s) – HD Aluminum

A surreal fusion of fantasy and industrial advertising, this rare 1920s French poster for Pétrole Stella turns something as utilitarian as fuel into a dazzling spectacle. Designed in a style that blends Art Deco with theatrical surrealism, the poster features ethereal winged women—part angel, part moth—emerging from radiant beams of light, all in service of promoting Stella petroleum, delivered in sealed 5- and 2-liter tins.

The result is a captivating contradiction: soft, otherworldly figures paired with bold, punchy typography and starburst energy, creating one of the most imaginative commercial visuals of the interwar period. Now expertly restored and printed on HD aluminum, this artwork is perfect for collectors of vintage ephemera, Art Deco dreamscapes, or anyone wanting to elevate a space with unexpected historical drama.
