Vintage art refers to works created from the turn of the 20th century into the 1940s. Just as a wine's vintage tells you when it was produced, the time-frame and style of collectible vintage art is easily recognizable in the work. Some of its most iconic pieces are found in the advertisements created during the early 1900s. The lettering, the shape and look of the subject, and the clothing worn by models all create a feeling of whimsical nostalgia, and displaying it in the home creates a charming focal point.
