Description from the seller
Amazing! The item presented at auction is an extraordinary warning sign dating from the 1960s, triangular in shape, enameled sheet metal, in yellow-ochre and black with in the center a skull with a bolt of lightning and the text at the bottom "Alta Tensione Pericolo Di Morte". The essential graphic with the skull and the bolt has over time become a recognizable and highly sought-after symbol by enthusiasts of industrial memorabilia and industrial décor. The sign, signal or danger plaque is vintage and original, indicating a grave danger of death and appears in good overall aesthetic condition with slight signs of wear, natural oxidation, which do not mar the beauty of the object but rather attest to its age. The patina and the signs of time certify its authenticity and increase its decorative value. The sign, signal or plaque is a work of art with a beautiful font, stunning characters and splendid coloration. Its dimensions are 43x39x1 cm with a weight of about 0.4 kg. Today an object of design, very decorative, appreciated and sought after, destined to collect vintage signage or to decorate pubs, bars and restaurants, architects, interior designers, loft owners, creative studios and industrial environments. A piece with impact that tells a story. Photos are an integral part of the description. Item seen and liked, documented photographically and in its current state of use always documented photographically.
