Ad Patina shares the best original magazine advertisements highlighting watches, automobiles, travel, fashion, and more...

Founder, Nick Federowicz, is constantly hunting for visually stunning, well-written, and historically significant vintage and modern print ads. Ad Patina’s curated selection is available for sale unframed - or custom framed.

Ad Patina aims to elevate vintage magazine advertisements so that they are recognized as true works of art, similar to how fine photography and paintings are already widely appreciated. Collecting and displaying a vintage ad shows an appreciation for a lost art form and celebrates the life’s work of talented copywriters, creative directors, and agencies - all true artists in their own right.

When it comes to learning about ads and choosing the perfect one, we are always available to educate and help. We love talking to people about all things ads, including sourcing and planning custom framing projects.

"Finding the known and discovering the unknown - I collect specific magazines I know certain ads are in and look through all the others to discover new ads."

NICK FEDEROWICZ

Ad Patina in Esquire!  

A few weeks ago I got a friendly message from Esquire writer Johnny Davis asking if I’d be interested in doing an interview for his newsletter “About Time”… Of course I said “Absolutely!” Soon we were on a video call having a great chat!

I really love his piece, as it covers so much… Our family (our pet python), Ad Patina history, nuances of what I do, customer stories, my favorite watch ads at the moment, and more…

Please hit the button below and give it a read! It’s so cool when these great advertisements are appreciated and get the chance to shine :)

“Thank You” to Johnny and everyone who has supported Ad Patina over the years. I continue to love it all - and can’t wait to see what’s next…
