Description from the seller
Enamel Sign "Fire Hazard" – Emilia-Romagna Region – 70s/80s
Description of the Lot
Up for auction is a genuine piece of Italian regional history: an original forest sign from the Emilia-Romagna Region, produced for the Regional Forests Company.
This triangular plate is not a mere modern reproduction, but a vintage enameled (ceramic) metal object of high quality. The design features an extraordinary visual impact: at the center sits 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 fired enamel (ceramic). The thickness work guarantees a shine and durability typical of vintage signage.
Dimensions: Large equilateral triangle, about 50 cm per side.
Weight: Substantial, about 1 kg, testament 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 in excellent vintage condition. The colors are still extremely vivid and the glazed surface maintains its original shine. There are slight signs of aging and small enamel losses along the edges and around the fixing holes (as visible in the photos), which authenticate its road/forest use and enhance its collectible charm. The back is finished with the classic protective black enamel. Some mild deformations.
Why buy it?
Perfect for enamel plaque collectors, lovers of vintage graphic design, or to furnish with an industrial-rustic touch offices, taverns, or garages. A rare piece to find in this condition, bearing witness to civil commitment in safeguarding Italian natural heritage.
Shipping: The item will be packed with maximum care to preserve the enamel integrity and shipped with a tracking code.
