AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Enamel Sign "Fire Hazard" – Emilia-Romagna Region – 1970s/1980s
Description of the Lot
In the auction, a true piece of history of the Italian territory: an original forest service sign from the Emilia-Romagna Region, produced for the Regional Forestry Agency.
This triangular plaque is not a simple modern reproduction, but a vintage enameled (ceramic-coated) metal item of high quality. The design is characterized by a striking visual impact: at the center stands the stylized silhouette of a burning tree, an iconic graphic symbol of forest fire prevention from the last century.
Main Features
Material: Heavy metal with heat-fired (ceramic) enamel coating. The thick construction ensures a shine and durability typical of old signs.
Dimensions: Equilateral triangle of large size, about 50 cm per side.
Weight: Substantial, about 1 kg, testifying to the solidity of the metal used.
Graphics: Red and black text 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 maintains its original luster. There are light signs of wear and small enamel losses along the edges and around the mounting holes (as visible in the photo), which attest to its road/forestry use and enhance its collectible charm. The back is finished with the classic protective black enamel. Minor deformations.
Why buy it?
Perfect for enamel plaque collectors, lovers of vintage graphic design, or to furnish with an “industrial” and rustic touch offices, taverns, or garages. A rare piece to find in this condition, 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 tracking code.
Seller's Story
I sell exclusively selected collectible items, including memorabilia, vintage collectibles, and unique pieces for passionate collectors.
