One of a kind vintage gift for the Elvis collector....
THE KING ON BLACK VELVET — ORIGINAL HAND-PAINTED ELVIS PORTRAIT FROM MEXICO
When Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, the world lost the King of Rock ’n’ Roll—but the image of Elvis never left us. For fans who remember that era, a painting like this brings back more than the music. It brings back the way Elvis looked on the walls of homes, record shops, and gathering places when his legend was still being written.
This is an original, hand-painted portrait on black velvet, signed by the artist and set in a patterned, layered wood frame. Elvis’s face emerges from the dark velvet, while the rich copper tones and green accents give the painting a striking look in person. The back is stamped “Hecho en Mexico” (Made in Mexico). Measuring approximately 13 x 22 inches framed, it has the character collectors look for in a vintage Velvet Elvis.
Found in storage at a vintage estate, this piece appears consistent with the late 1960s to early 1970s, though its exact year and artist have not been verified. Please study the photographs for its vintage condition, including wear to the frame. The painting shown is the exact one you will receive.
A second, different Elvis velvet painting from the same estate is listed separately. This listing is for Painting #1 only. Whether you collect Elvis memorabilia or want a genuine Velvet Elvis for your wall, this is a wonderful piece of pop culture history.
