Aston Villa Football Club is celebrating a monumental milestone: 150 years of rich history. To commemorate this special anniversary, the club has released a stunning array of limited edition merchandise.
These unique items allow fans to showcase their unwavering passion for the claret and blue in true style. From bespoke artworks to miniature stadium replicas, this collection offers something truly special for every dedicated supporter. These exclusive products are designed to add a touch of Villa pride to any home, office, or personal collection.
Artistic Tributes: Immortalizing Villa’s Legacy
The 150th anniversary collection includes breathtaking artistic pieces that capture the essence of Aston Villa’s storied past and present.
The “Dream Scene” Painting
One of the standout items is the magnificent Aston Villa ‘dream scene’ painting. This unique artwork masterfully depicts legendary figures from Villa’s history, alongside modern-day heroes. Imagine seeing former manager Unai Emery engaged in conversation with the iconic Ron Saunders, or legendary striker Peter Withe sharing a joke with midfielder Gareth Barry. This artistic creation brings together different eras of Villa greatness.
This brilliant dressing room scene is printed on a large 130 x 43cm canvas. Each canvas comes complete with a special souvenir booklet. This booklet provides insights into the artwork and the historical figures depicted. To truly underscore its exclusivity, only 150 of these paintings were produced. This limited run makes it a highly coveted collector’s item, celebrating Villa’s century-and-a-half milestone.
Lithographic Print Alternative
For fans seeking a more affordable option that still captures the essence of this unique artwork, a lithographic print is available. This version features the same captivating dream scene. It is presented on a 90 x 60cm lithos print, making it a slightly smaller but equally striking piece.
Like the canvas, it also includes the commemorative souvenir booklet. This print is also a limited edition piece, ensuring its collectible value.
