For your consideration is this beautiful and rare painted "The De Laval Separator Company" framed advertisements circa 1900-1910s. The De Laval Separator Company was founded in 1883 by Gustaf de Laval and his partner Oscar Lamm as AB Separator. De Laval, a Swedish engineer and inventor, patented the first centrifugal cream separator in 1878, which allowed dairy operations to separate milk from cream while it was still warm. This process was faster and less cumbersome than previous methods, which could result in waste and sour milk. The company is still producing dairy and farming machinery to this day, with its head office in Tumba, Sweden. It has 18 factories worldwide and employs over 4,500 people. The painted advertisement shows a woman with a milk bucket sitting on a trough, watching her cow drink some water. She is wearing a large bonnet hat, a white shirt and a blue plaid dress. In the background are some cows grazing in the large field. The scene is bordered by a gold color with floral adornments in the bottom corners. The bottom of the advertisement reads, "The De Laval Separator Company" in white lettering. It is set in a black frame. The piece shows good condition overall with little to no wear present. The visible art measures 12 7/8" L x 11 15/16" W, while the entire piece measures 13 13/16" L x 12 7/8" W x 7/8" D.
