Mottahedeh Italy Vintage Tole Iron Trade Sign Antique Pub Folk Art Plaque 1047

Product Overview:
Up for sale is a rare and highly charming vintage Mottahedeh Design hanging tole and iron wall sign, meticulously hand-crafted in Italy.

This stunning piece captures the essence of early European history, reminiscent of old European pub signs or artisan blacksmith/merchant guild signs (Classic Folk Art). The distinctive structure features a top decorative scalloped canopy awning component, from which the main sign plaque hangs down elegantly via connecting chain links. The hanging sign itself features a double-sided design, with the exact same beautiful motif finished on both the front and back, casting a nostalgic and three-dimensional silhouette on any wall.

At the center is an abstract, highly stylized folk art motif adorned with three-dimensional raised floral rosettes and a suspended tassel silhouette with gold accents. The entire structure can be disassembled for safe and compact shipping, and easily reassembled using the threaded brass hardware.

The back of the canopy retains its original round gold foil "A Mottahedeh Design" label and the handwritten gold inscription "ITALY 1047", guaranteeing its provenance and high-end Italian craftsmanship. A perfect statement piece for collectors of historic museum reproductions, old tavern/pub aesthetics, or classic European rustic home decor.

Condition:

Excellent vintage condition. The metal structure is completely solid, sturdy, and free of any warping or structural damage. It features beautiful, intentional factory-distressed patina and aging to replicate an authentic antique. Very minor surface scuffs on the back consistent with age and careful handling. Please review all high-resolution photos for the exact cosmetic condition.
