For Sale by Krave Antiques
Description

This fabulous highly decorative French tradesman's sign which is made of metal has a painted brown background with beautifully hand painted wording to the front in orange / brown that reads Entreprise de Peinture, L Zeyer, Rombas.

This antique trade sign that dates from the late 19th / early 20th century would have been fixed to a wall to advertise a French painter's business. The oval shape and wonderful rustic charm with flaky paint that shows years of aging and wear all add to the decorative look.

Can be mounted on a wall by the fixing holes or looks great just resting against one.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An antique French tradesman sign is a hand-painted commercial signboard produced during the 19th and early 20th centuries to advertise local services, artisans, and commercial enterprises across France.

These signs were typically crafted from sheet iron, zinc, or timber, using durable oil-based paints and enamels to ensure the lettering remained legible outdoors.

Authentic signs display natural surface patina, age-appropriate oxidisation around edges and mounting holes, crazing within the paint layers, and evidence of original hand lettering rather than modern printed graphics.

A painted metal trade sign functions well as a graphic focal point hung on a feature wall, incorporated into a gallery wall, or displayed above a sideboard or console.

Maintain the surface by dusting gently with a clean microfibre cloth, keeping the item dry, and avoiding abrasive polishes or chemical cleansers that could lift historic paint.
