卖家的描述
Striking vintage hand-painted wooden warning sign, featuring the iconic skull and crossbones symbol above the word “TOXIC”, executed in black on a strong yellow/ochre background.
The sign is entirely made of wood and has a particularly appealing handcrafted construction. The circular panel consists of several individual wooden boards, joined and reinforced on the reverse by two horizontal wooden supports fixed with old nails. The front, lettering, border and skull motif all appear to have been painted by hand, giving the piece the distinctive irregularities and character associated with vernacular industrial and folk signage.
The bold combination of yellow and black was traditionally associated with warning and hazardous environments, while the skull and crossbones has long been internationally recognised as a symbol for poison and toxic substances.
Stylistically and from its construction, the sign can reasonably be placed in the mid-20th century, approximately 1950–1970. Its exact geographical origin is unknown. The English word “TOXIC” suggests that it may have originated in an English-speaking environment or in an industrial setting where English terminology was used.
It may originally have been produced locally for use in a workshop, warehouse, agricultural or chemical storage area, laboratory or other industrial environment, rather than being a mass-produced regulatory sign.
The surface retains a beautiful original aged patina, with wear, scratches, paint loss and natural ageing of the wood consistent with its utilitarian character and age. The visible joints between the boards and the rustic construction are integral to the authenticity and visual appeal of the piece.
Today it makes a particularly strong decorative object for an industrial, loft, vintage or eclectic interior, as well as an unusual addition to a collection of vintage advertising, safety signage or industrial folk art.
Period: circa 1950–1970
Material: wood
Technique: hand-painted
Diameter: 26 cm
Thickness: approx. 1.5 cm
Condition: original vintage condition with age-related wear and patina; please refer carefully to the photographs.
A unique, highly graphic piece of vernacular industrial design, retaining all the charm of an object originally made for practical rather than decorative purposes."
