With its product discretely located on the lower right, this early 20th-century poster for Hatamen cigarettes centered upon a scene from classic Chinese literature to capture the attention of the public. Printed in the 1930s, the lithographed poster demonstrates the rise of Western-style advertising methods, mixing traditional themes with lushly illustrated and narrative-based themes. The scene depicts the fictional Oath of the Peach Garden from the 14th-century novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms.” In this iconic moment, the story’s protagonists engage in a battle that will unite them in fraternal loyalty. Unframed.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
