Item Description
A striking early 20th-century French butcher’s trade sign, finely modelled in fireclay and designed as a bold bull’s head mounted on an oval backplate. Originally intended for display outside a traditional French butcher’s shop, this sculptural plaque served both as advertising and a symbol of quality and craftsmanship.
Pieces like this were typically produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries using durable, high-fired clays suited for outdoor signage — making this a rare survivor from a time when shopfronts were both functional and beautifully designed.
An exceptional piece of architectural folk art, ideal for adding character to kitchens, restaurants, retail spaces, or collector’s interiors.
