About the Item

A rare antique painted metal French trade sign reading “La Poterie,” mounted on its original wrought iron bracket. The sign features bold hand-painted lettering in green with decorative scrollwork and foliate flourishes, set against a softly mottled cream ground. Rich surface wear, oxidation, and paint loss throughout contribute to its authentic patina and visual depth. The sculptural iron bracket allows the sign to project from the wall, making it ideal for display as originally intended. A striking decorative object with strong graphic presence, perfect for interiors, retail spaces, or garden rooms seeking an authentic European architectural element. France, late 19th to early 20th century.
