About the Item

This early-1900s French metal street sign, originally marking “Rue des Prêtres” (“Street of the Priests”), is a striking example of classic Parisian signage with a beautifully aged surface. The deep blue ground, softened by time and weather, contrasts with the bold cream lettering and subtly raised border, all showing authentic patina from decades of outdoor use. Its worn edges and original mounting holes further emphasize its utilitarian past. Now presented on a minimalist custom stand, the sign becomes a sculptural decorative object that blends industrial character with cultural history. Ideal for wall shelves, console displays, or gallery-style interiors, it brings an unmistakable French presence to any space.
