Description
Originally designed for use in an upscale hotel, restaurant, private club, lobby, or reception area, the sign has the elegant appearance associated with classic hospitality interiors of the 1970s-1980s. The rectangular sign is framed in warm brass-tone metal and supported by a slender pedestal with a substantial round base.
A particularly desirable feature is the telescoping adjustable post, allowing the sign to stand approximately 42 inches high and extend to approximately 64 inches high. The adjustable design makes it equally effective as decorative signage in a home bar or as functional signage in a commercial setting.
The combination of aged brass, deep green and crisp white typography gives this piece tremendous vintage character. Today it works beautifully as an unexpected decorative accent in a home bar, cocktail lounge, restaurant, hotel, retail space, loft, game room, or collection of vintage advertising and hospitality memorabilia.
An unusual survivor from an era when even practical commercial signage was designed with style.
