Gold leaf. Embossing. Full color lithography. And it was designed to line the inside of a cigar box.

This is an original Omar Quality Cigars inner label — a 1920s chromolithograph produced by the Consolidated Lithographing Corporation of Brooklyn, New York for the American Tobacco Company of New York. It is one of the most visually spectacular labels in the collection. An Arabian prince in fine robes sits on a prayer rug beside his ornate travel tent, surrounded by scrolls and objects of luxury, beautiful flowers and palm trees framing the scene, men on camels visible in the background. The border is a masterwork of embossed gilded roping, scrolls, and two golden genie lamps. Marked The Nation's Sensation, Quality Omar Cigars. Very glossy, heavily embossed and gilded — an extraordinarily expensive label to produce, and every dollar shows.

New Old Stock, never used, mint condition. Age-appropriate yellowing on the reverse only — the face is vivid and pristine. Two available.

Frame it as a centerpiece for a study, library, bar, or any room that appreciates exceptional commercial art. At 9.5 by 7.0 inches it fits a standard 10x8 frame beautifully.

A wonderful gift for a tobacciana collector, a cigar aficionado, an Orientalist art enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates the golden age of American chromolithographic printing.

American Tobacco Company was founded in 1890 and became one of the largest tobacco companies in American history, manufacturing Omar Cigars among dozens of famous brands from its New York headquarters until closing in 1957.
