AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Enamel Sign "Fire Hazard" – Emilia-Romagna Region – 70s/80s

Description of the Lot

In an auction a true piece of Italian territory history: an original forest service sign from the Emilia-Romagna Region, produced for the Regional Forestry Company.

This triangular plate is not a simple modern reproduction, but a vintage enameled metal object of high quality. The design features a striking visual impact: at the center lies the stylized silhouette of a tree in flames, an iconic graphic symbol of forest fire prevention from the last century.

Main Features

Material: Heavy metal with heat-fired (ceramic) enameling. The thick construction guarantees a gloss and durability typical of old signs.
Dimensions: Equilateral triangle of large size, about 50 cm per side.
Weight: Substantial, around 1 kg, testimony to the solidity of the metal used.
Graphics: Text in red and black on a bright yellow and white background.
Inscription: "Azienda Regionale Foreste - Regione Emilia-Romagna - PERICOLO D’INCENDIO".

Condition

The sign is presented in excellent vintage condition. The colors are still extremely vivid and the glazed surface retains its original shine. There are light signs of aging and small enamel losses along the edges and around the fixing holes (as visible in photos), which authenticate its road/forest use and enhance its collectible charm. The back is finished with the classic protective black enamel. Slight bends.

Why buy it?

Perfect for collectors of plaque émaillée, fans of vintage graphic design, or to decorate with an industrial and rustic touch offices, taverns, or garages. A rare piece to find in these conditions, testimony to civil commitment in safeguarding Italy’s natural heritage.

Shipping: The item will be packed with maximum care to preserve the enamel integrity and shipped with a tracking code.
