AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
NGK advertising sign
NGK advertising sign, 40 x 10 cm, enameled metal.
Analyzing the object's characteristics, one can state that the item is original and not a current reprint, presenting the following features:
- The back is matte black enamel; in many points the original paint is visible, not affected by corrosion.
- The finish is layered enamel; as visible from the frame on the back, the layers of enamel in the white background color can be seen. On the front of the sign, in many places you can notice the white base layer and the enamel layer in the different colors.
- By running a finger near the color change, one perceives the overlap (with a step) of the paint layers, typical of enameled signs made by layering enamel rather than printed in a single solution.
- The white-colored front parts have a satin finish, the other parts have a glossy finish.
- The signs of time and corrosion lead to dating the object around the 1970s–1980s.
The item has been cleaned and treated for conservation purposes only, removing the front-side corrosion without damaging the existing enamel. No solvents or other substances were used to avoid affecting the patina of the object. The buyer is free to undertake a more thorough restoration if desired.
The item is being sold as “seen and liked.” The description has been written to eliminate any doubts about the manufacture, a potential source of clarifications from buyers, not allowing Catawiki to send specific questions to the seller.
The candle box visible in the photo is not included in the lot.
