AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Agfa enamel sign from the 1950s, large format Strasbourg

Original double-sided Agfa enamel sign from the 1950s, produced by the renowned Strasbourg enameling workshop, in a large format that immediately captures the eye. The diamond-shaped geometry, with its deep blue background framed by vivid orange, reflects the full graphic strength of advertising communication from that era. The Agfa logo, elegant and dynamic, stands out in white with its characteristic sinuous stroke of the period.

The surface retains an authentic patina, characterized by small edge wear and light traces of time that do not disturb but rather tell the long history of the object and enhance its charm. The enamel remains bright, reflecting the quality of French craftsmanship from that era. Its generous dimensions – approximately 78 cm on the longest side and about 55 cm vertically – make it a significant presence, perfect for collections, themed decor, or spaces dedicated to analog photography.

An authentic, rare, and suggestive piece capable of bringing with it the entire atmosphere of the post-war period and the great Agfa graphic tradition.

Fast shipping with careful and attentive packaging. Please see the photos, which are an integral part of the description.
