Description from the seller
Original vintage Soviet industrial safety sign from the USSR, dating approximately from the 1970s–1980s.
The sign bears the Russian inscription:
“РАБОТАЙТЕ ТОЛЬКО С НИЗКОВОЛЬТНЫМ СВЕТИЛЬНИКОМ”
which translates as:
“Work only with a low-voltage lamp.”
This type of sign was intended for use in factories, workshops, maintenance areas and other technical or industrial workplaces where electrical safety precautions were required.
The sign is made of metal, with a yellow background and dark red lettering. The typography is bold, highly visible and characteristic of Soviet industrial safety signage.
Approximate dimensions:
* Width: about 43 cm
* Height: about 35 cm
The sign is preserved in authentic vintage condition, with visible traces of age and industrial use, including scratches, surface wear, oxidation, staining, small dents and wear around the edges and corners.
It has not been restored, and the natural patina strongly enhances its authentic industrial appearance.
A distinctive and highly decorative example of Soviet industrial safety signage and graphic design, suitable for collectors of USSR memorabilia, industrial interiors, loft-style decoration, workshops, garages, bars, cafés or display.
