Enamel sign - Decorative enamel advertising board for Orient Zout - Enamel, Steel

The sign is made of enameled metal and has rounded corners. At the top, there are mounting holes, indicating its original use as a wall or facade sign. The color contrast between the deep blue and white creates a bold, highly legible appearance.

The state is used and authentic, with visible signs of age such as edge damages, small rust spots, and light wear of the enamel. These signs of use contribute to the character and authenticity of the object.
