About the Item
Kindly note that we arrange the shipping ourselves to ensure a smooth, secure, and reliable delivery. This allows us to provide the best possible service and care for your purchase.
Step into a time when storefronts told their story with charm and character. This striking, hand-painted metal pike sign is a rare and wonderfully quirky example of the early 20th-century folk art, originally used as a trade sign for a fishmonger’s shop.
Crafted from metal and suspended from an elegant wrought iron bracket with decorative scrollwork, this piece is as much a sculptural artwork as it is a slice of commercial history. The pike is beautifully stylized, with bold carved fins, toothy detail in the mouth, and a rich patina that speaks to decades of outdoor exposure. The original paint remains in mostly intact condition, with soft, time-worn wear and old touch-ups adding layers of character.
Whether displayed indoors as a focal point or restored for exterior use, this unique piece makes a statement that’s both whimsical and historical. It’s ideal for collectors of folk art, lovers of maritime and fishing decor, or anyone looking to add a one-of-a-kind antique with genuine personality.
This pike will look great in a fish monger's, but it can also be the perfect decoration in the office of a farm, in a fisherman's lodge or in a mancave. It was originally made to hang, but with one or two brackets this work of art could also be placed on a large desk or shelf.
Our price for this rare antique includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days.
Maximum with bracket and pike, length x height x depth: 54 x 27 x 4.5 inches.
Length pike: 49 inches.
We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past. Every purchase is carefully and thoughtfully packed — and we look forward to serving you (again).
