About the Item
Wonderful antique French hand-painted wooden trade sign for “Finkbeiner Cordonnerie” (shoemaker/cobbler). It features bold gold block lettering with shadowing on a rich cobalt blue ground, flanked by painted images of boots and shoes. The two-plank construction is framed in its original wood surround, with surface wear, craquelure, and fading consistent with decades of outdoor display.
This type of trade sign, with its combination of text and pictorial imagery, was designed to be read quickly by passersby and recognizable for those who could not read, making it an important piece of commercial and social history.
Antique advertising signs can add warmth, rusticity and personality to any space.
