Vintage French Enamel Street Sign – Blue & White Metal Road Sign “Rue Antoine Lavoisier”

This is an original vintage French enamel street sign, an authentic piece of French history sourced from a traditional brocante market. Unlike the more common smaller street signs (approx. 45cm x 25cm), this is an extra large version measuring 60cm x 40cm, making it a striking statement piece for any wall.

Made of blue and white enamel over metal, this sign shows genuine signs of age and use, with scuffs, marks, and wear consistent with a lifetime outdoors in France. This patina adds to its shabby chic, rustic, and industrial appeal, perfect for vintage interiors or man caves.
