AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original and characterful enamel warning sign with the clear and powerful message 'Falling due to height difference'. This type of safety sign was used in industrial environments, workshops, and public spaces where height differences posed a potential risk. Today, such signs are beloved collectibles and highly decorative within industrial, vintage, and loft interiors.

The sign is executed in the classic and highly recognizable safety colors yellow and black, with a clear pictogram of a falling person. The enamel finish provides a deep gloss and a durable quality that is characteristic of authentic safety signs from the second half of the 20th century. The typography and design give the sign a strong visual impact and a rugged look.

This item is in neat, used condition with light signs of wear and edge damage appropriate to its age and use. The mounting holes are intact, so the board can be hung easily. It is a particularly decorative piece that works well both in a collection and on the wall of a workshop, man cave, hospitality venue, or industrial interior.
