A wonderfully evocative collection of original antique travel decals featuring European and South American luxury hotels, professionally presented in a custom solid wood shadowbox that recalls the golden age of grand tours, ocean liners, and first-class rail travel.
Once proudly adhered to Louis Vuitton trunks, Goyard cases, Hartmann luggage, and leather steamer trunks, these colorful paper decals served as passports of privilege—marking journeys through Europe's most celebrated destinations and luxury hotels. This curated grouping captures that same spirit of cosmopolitan adventure with destinations including Florence, Nice, Amalfi, Venice, Pisa, Interlaken, Santiago de Chile, and the famed Hotel Continental, Buenos Aires.
The bold typography, Art Deco-inspired graphics, heraldic crests, and saturated Mediterranean palette create an unmistakably clubby aesthetic that feels equally at home in a Ralph Lauren penthouse, an English library, an Alpine lodge, or a Palm Beach study. Mounted against a deep hunter green background, each decal is elevated to artwork while preserving the feeling of a well-traveled trunk collected over decades.
The custom shadowbox features a beautifully grained solid wood frame with an acrylic cover. Each decal has been mounted using removable adhesive, allowing them to be repositioned or removed in the future without permanently fixing them to the backing—an ideal solution for collectors.
Whether displayed in a library, office, dressing room, or alongside vintage luggage and travel books, this piece immediately evokes the romance of the Orient Express era and the refined interiors associated with Ralph Lauren Home.
