On my travels, it's become apparent that a clearly visible, hard wearing and aesthetically pleasing door number is a difficult thing to find... Subsequently I've been putting my efforts into collecting as wide a range of vintage, enamel door numbers as possible. Enamel signage has been favoured for decades for it's hard wearing and virtually weather proof nature; it also provides bright and vibrant colours; in this instance the iconic blue and white combination. 

 

This particular door number plaque is mid-century (c.1950s) and was found in France and has a particularly simple, clear design. Over the decades the sign has weathered nicely; the number is still bright and visible, but with a little enamel loss (particularly around the right hand edges) generally this is the sort of patina / character that just can't be reproduced. 

 

The plaque can be displayed using it's original mounting holes and measures 13cm wide x 10cm high and the price includes UK mainland delivery.
