AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A distinctive and authentic street-name sign bearing the inscription “Johan Buziaustraat,” rendered in classic deep-blue enamel with white raised lettering. A characterful object that immediately evokes the atmosphere of the Dutch street scene from the 20th century.

Below the street name is the caption: “Ned. cabaretier 1877–1958,” referring to Johan Buziau, a well-known Dutch cabaret performer and revue artist from the first half of the 20th century. He was especially famous for his performances on the variety stage and was an important figure within Dutch entertainment culture of his time.

The sign is made of metal with an enameled finish, a technique widely used for street signs due to its durability and weather resistance. The lightly raised letters and the deep gloss of the enamel give the sign a strong visual presence.

On the back, the construction is visible, as well as traces of mounting and use. The sign shows normal signs of wear such as light scratches and edge wear, appropriate to its age and use. This contributes to its authentic character.

A beautiful collectible for enthusiasts of Dutch history, old street signs, or graphic design. Also very suitable as a decorative piece in an interior with an industrial or vintage look.
