The illustration measures approximately 26cm (10½ in.) by 23cm (9 in.) with the letter on the reverse and folds out to reveal the price list/catalogue on the inside.

The paper is yellowed with some minor creasing, but is in good condition considering it is over 80 years old.

]]> Quirky Vintage French “Wet Paint” Sign Dating from the 1950s/1960s https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/quirky-vintage-french-wet-paint-sign-dating-from-the-1950s-1960s/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=quirky-vintage-french-wet-paint-sign-dating-from-the-1950s-1960s Wed, 18 Jul 2018 22:50:30 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=2999 Made by - and branded - the French paint manufacturers "Usines de la Seigneurie" ("Factories of The Seigneurie") between the 1930s and the 1960s from the district of Pantin, France of the same name. This is a quirky and colourful sign indicating "Wet Paint" in French with a young girl playfully and dutifully illustrating this! It is made of very light cardboard and measures 28cm by 19cm (11in. by 7½in.). and the reverse of the sign is plain. It comes with a hanging string, and probably dates from the 1950s or 1960s. It would make an interesting decorative piece, a humorous gift for an artist, could be mounted and framed easily, or just used "as is" - it's difficult not to smile when seeing it, in whatever way it might be displayed!

There is some wear to the edges and a tear to the sign near the the centre, but one wouldn't expect an item of this age, material and use to be pristine.  It's remarkable that is in as good condition as it is, really, and we think its charm and quirkiness overwhelms any imperfections.
