This highly decorative and rare sign reads Drogueries. M. Antoine Delcourt and is mounted in an ornate wooden frame which is fitted with a plaque to each side that reads Colville. R de L'etuve, B, Liege being the Belgian maker.

This shop sign would have been hung outside a Droguery in Belgium. The original hanging loops still remain and the whole piece has a stunning aged patina with blistered paint finish.

An unusual and extremely desirable antique sign that looks stunning when hung so would be ideal for a cocktail bar, pharmacy, shop display or a special piece for home display.

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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

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

Antique shop signs were traditionally crafted by hand to advertise specific merchants, goods, and services to passing pedestrians before modern mass-marketing existed.

These functional objects were typically constructed using durable materials such as painted wood, reverse-painted glass, iron frames, and vitreous enamel.

Authentic period pieces exhibit genuine oxidisation, hand-painted lettering imperfections, aged patina on the wood or metal, and historical manufacturing techniques.

Such pieces function well as statement wall art or hanging architectural elements, adding industrial or mercantile character to modern spaces.

Maintenance requires gentle dusting with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and hanging the item away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
