Description from the seller

Pair of Vintage Directional Signs “CONCIERGE” – Original Metal Signs – Italy, 20th Century

Pair of authentic vintage Italian directional signs, used to indicate the location of the concierge’s office inside buildings and residential complexes.

The signs feature a distinctive green background with the black word “CONCIERGE” on a white arrow, pointing right and left respectively.

Made of painted metal, they retain the charm of original 20th-century signage, with a clean, typically industrial aesthetic.

Features:

* Origin: Italy
* Period: 20th century, exact date unconfirmed
* Material: painted metal
* Dimensions: approx. 34 × 12 cm each
* Colors: green, white, and black
* Quantity: 2 original signs
* Mounting: four holes at the corners
* Arrows: one pointing right and one pointing left

Condition

The signs are in original vintage condition, with clear signs of age and use: scratches, surface abrasions, small areas of missing paint, and oxidation on the back.

They have not been restored.

The lettering and arrows are well preserved and perfectly legible.

Collecting and Interior Design

A particularly interesting pair for collectors of signs and historical signage, enthusiasts of mid-century design, and fans of industrial-style interiors.

Ideal as decorative pieces for lofts, professional offices, shops, commercial premises, and spaces with a vintage feel.

The two arrows pointing in opposite directions also make the pair especially appealing for a coordinated decorative display.

Sold only as a single lot, including both signs.
