Vintage Blue Enamel French Street Sign Plaque, Road name Rue Traite Westphalie

This is an original French metal enamel street in good used condition with minor signs of age and previous life as expected, there are some light scratches which are very difficult to show in the pictures as they are quite faint, they are in keeping with an original French used sign. This enamel street name sign would suit a retro style home or look great in a man cave, garage or in a garden. These signs are usually in poor condition, however this particular one is in a good condition so is likely that it has not been outside for very long. This refers to The Treaty of Westphalia which was signed on 24 October 1648, marking the end of the Thirty Years' War and brought peace to the Holy Roman Empire, closing a calamitous period of European history that killed approximately eight million people. Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III, the kingdoms of France and Sweden, and their respective allies participated in the treaty. As such it would make a unique gift for a historian or someone with an interest in the Westphalia region of Germany.  All the items we sell are used or vintage and will show signs of a previous life. This is part of their unique French shabby chic appeal.
