A Clear Message with a Touch of History
Where Will This Sign Look Best?
This sign is incredibly versatile. Its place isn't just on the main front door. You can mount it on a side entrance, a garden gate, a workshop, a garage, or even at the entrance to commercial spaces like a café, bar, or stylish shop. Its robust yet elegant design suits many styles, from country and industrial to vintage and retro.
The History of Door Signs
Door signage is as old as cities themselves. Even in ancient Rome, shops had their signs, known as *signa*. With the development of cities in the 18th and 19th centuries and the establishment of formal addresses, door signs and numbers became essential. During the Industrial Revolution, cast iron became an immensely popular material for their production. It was affordable, extremely durable, and allowed for the easy casting of decorative shapes and lettering, making it the ideal material for signage in the rapidly growing Victorian cities.
Interesting Fact: The Language of Typography
The lettering on the sign uses a bold, sans-serif font. While serif fonts dominated book printing for centuries, sans-serif fonts became popular in the 19th century precisely for their excellent legibility, modern appearance, and industrial character. They were perfectly suited for public signs, advertisements, and notices, thus ideally complementing the historical character of the cast iron itself.

Installation and Care
Installation is a matter of minutes. The sign has one pre-drilled hole on each side for an easy and secure attachment.

What This Sign Is Definitely Not For
This sign clearly points to an entrance. It does not serve to mark an emergency exit, even if you might sometimes want to escape your mother-in-law through it. It is also not suitable for use as a cutting board for onions.
