Product Information
Everyone has memories of old signs, old barbershop signs, or old dentist, vintage ice cream signs, or even your dad’s old vintage beer signs. Everyone has a favorite memory of a sign during their childhood. Old signs or vintage retro signs are a great way to add character and variety to wall decor. When you find a unique vintage sign that draws you in, it adds a genuine quality in any interior decoration, and it is this quality and authentic character that we seek when looking for old vintage signs.
This vintage wooden retro sign for sale on All The Decor is undoubtedly a great option for adding to your creativity and choices when looking to create engaging, genuine, and unique interiors. Old signs come in many different types of materials and sizes, and depending on your wall interiors for your space, you may or may not have room for every time of vintage sign. One nice thing about old signs is patina and oxidation the sign has incurred from the years and decades it has spent in the elements. All visual elements that are not easily re-produced with contemporary copies. Consider the time an old sign has spent hanging in long rainstorms or the time each sign has spent baking all day long on a hot summer day in the sun or the stress placed on the materials during a strong winter blizzard in minus 10 degrees. Old signs have a strong patina that is hard-fought and long won. Old retro signs like this are a lot of fun. Wooden signs, especially, take on a unique character as the paint begins to chips away, the colors begin to fade, and the distressed vintage look begins to take how.
This item features a folk art style hand-painted retro style print stating “Private Drive.” Each side of the wooden panel features a unique font. The front side of the panel is hand-painted, and the completely faded reverse appears to have been created with a stencil font. The hand-painted font on one side of the panel has a funky retro style color combination of cat black and funky banana yellow. A great wild combination that makes this item interesting and unique. The background of the panel is a mixed and washed titanium white type color tone, which has mostly chipped away and been removed by the elements. A feint and mostly faded black border can be noted that lightly dances around the edges of the rectangular wooden board, with hand-painted embellishments in both the banana yellow and cat black above and below the private, and drive portions of the panel. The top of this item still retains its old metal hinge, which displays elements of oxidation and heavy corrosion, adding a tremendous rustic and vintage element to this piece of retro wall decor.
Signs can undoubtedly enhance your interior regardless of the style you are going for. Old signs make great additions for creating a gallery wall or function perfectly well as a stand-alone wall art decor. This sign adds a retro flare with a hand-painted funky font on one side of the panel; it is also very versatile as it is large enough to be noticed but not overpowering. The versatile size of this item allows it to work well as an addition to other signs mounted on a wall or as stand-alone vintage wall decor.
The history of this item, as far as we know, is that it was found in an old farmhouse estate in the Northeast. The owners of the property had felt it was a unique item and might be of interest to a collector of vintage or retro hand-painted signs. We estimate this item to have been created anywhere between the 1940s-1960s, making it a true retro collectible. This old sign would be an excellent purchase for anyone that collects old vintage retro signs, or for someone looking for unique handcrafted wall decor. This vintage wall art sign is a great home accent for the farmhouse interior style; it is also the go-to choice for creating the county cottage style. It would also work well in a rustic cottage interior just as much as it would befit a game room or coffeehouse setting.
