AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

These four plexiglas tags come directly from the authentic atmosphere of small Italian shops in the 1970s, when each store had its slow, precise, almost ritualistic rhythm. They are objects that preserve a world made of cash counted calmly, regular customers, squeaking doors, and quiet voices behind the counter. Their simple yet decisive writings immediately evoke those everyday scenes that now survive only in memories: the sign reminding you to check your change before leaving, the direction sign firmly warning that it is not responsible for any shortages, and the clear prohibition on checks.

The gold and red colored plexiglas, typical of the era, shows slight oxidation and signs of age that do not diminish the charm of the lot; on the contrary, they enhance its history and authenticity. Each plaque has its character: some larger and more important, others smaller and ornate, all designed to be hung or placed on the counter, illuminated by the warm lights of that time reflecting on the glossy surfaces.

An ideal set for collectors, set designers, decorators, or simply for those who love to surround themselves with objects that speak of a simpler Italy, made of slow gestures and rules written in red characters on a golden background.

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