Late 19th Century Polychrome Paint Decorated Paint Trade Sign
Dimensions: 51" x 21"
An exceptional and rare late 19th-century polychrome painted trade sign in the form of four stacked paint barrels, advertising Revere Liquid Paint. This sculptural wooden sign retains its vibrant original surface, with rich mustard, red, green, and black paint and beautifully hand-lettered text. The imaginative barrel-form design and bold palette make this piece a standout example of American advertising art.
One age crack/break at the bottom has been professionally stabilized, ensuring structural integrity while preserving its untouched surface and patina.
Early figural trade signs of this scale and originality are increasingly scarce on the market. This example is remarkable for its size, color, and condition, offering outstanding visual impact for a collection of folk art, advertising, or Americana.
