About the Item

This enormous vintage hand-carved wooden fish trade sign is an impressive example of craftsmanship and maritime folk art. Carved from a single solid piece of wood, it measures 50 inches wide and features meticulously detailed scales, sculpted fins, and a well-defined body, resembling a snapper or carp. Originally used as a trade sign, possibly for a seafood market or fishing-related business, this piece has a rich patina that enhances its rustic authenticity. A unique and eye-catching decorative element, it blends artistry with functionality, making it a perfect addition to coastal interiors, vintage collections, or nautical-inspired spaces.
