A superb antique Bourbon bottle holder in glass and ceramic, a rare advertising item from the 1960s. In impeccable condition, it retains its original patina, a testament to its authenticity. The piece features a moustachioed bodybuilder in blue shorts and a red jersey, proudly posing next to a cast-iron ball - a nod to the strength and robustness of the famous American bourbon.

This Antique Bourbon bottle holder was designed to take pride of place on the counters of bars and liquor stores, showcasing the brand's bottle while adding a touch of humour and character. Its expressive design and bright colours make it a real collector's item for fans of vintage advertising and the retro world.

Part decorative sculpture, part functional support, this piece evokes both the power of post-war American branding and the timeless charm of bistro advertising objects.

In the 1950s and 1960s, bar counters were genuine showcases for alcohol brands. Advertising objects competed in inventiveness: ashtrays, display stands, illuminated signs, or as here, figurative bottle holders that brought brands to life. Each object told a story — that of a style, an era, and a convivial art of living.

The “strongman” figure used by Antique Bourbon is part of this tradition: a symbol of strength, virility and confidence, reflecting the American imagination of the post-war years. These pieces, made in enamelled porcelain and pressed glass, were often given to partner bars and are today highly sought after by collectors. Witnesses to a golden age of counter advertising, they serve as a reminder that marketing could also be a form of popular art.
