Description from the seller
Vintage Enamel Electric Hazard Sign – "Nie dotykać!" – Poland, Mid 20th Century
In this lot is an authentic and fascinating enamel-painted industrial warning sign, originating from Poland and dating to the mid-20th century (People's Republic of Poland era - PRL).
The sign features a strong visual impact stencil graphic, characterized by the classic skull with crossed tibias, pierced by a bright red lightning bolt, a universal symbol of high voltage danger.
The Polish text reads:
"Nie dotykać! Urządzenie elektryczne!" > (Do not touch! Electrical equipment!)
The plate has a slight convex bulge, typical of enamel work from the period, which gives it a beautiful three-dimensionality when hung on the wall. The back shows the natural and evocative rusting of the iron over time, certifying its authenticity and historical lived-in history.
Perfect as a collectible piece, industrial loft-style decor element, or to give a unique, characterful touch to a modern environment.
Technical Details
Material: Heavy enameled iron (fired porcelain enamel).
Dimensions: 15 x 25 cm.
Weight: 300 grams.
Era: Circa 1950 - 1970.
Origin: Poland (PRL).
Mounting: Has 4 original corner holes for easy wall installation.
General condition: Good / Very good as shown in the photos.
The sign retains an exceptional glossy enamel on the front. It shows the classic and fascinating signs of time, with very slight enamel losses along the edges and near the mounting holes, which do not compromise the striking main graphic but rather accentuate its original vintage charm. The back is uniformly rusted from time, evidence of its industrial history.
(Please look closely at the photo gallery, which is an integral part of the description)
Careful shipping, traceable, and professional packaging to ensure the item's integrity during transport.
