A rare early 19th-century French painted iron trade sign in the form of a Napoleonic bicorne hat.

Executed in toleware and dating to circa 1810, this sculptural shop sign would have hung outside a military outfitter’s establishment, serving as both advertisement and architectural ornament. During the Napoleonic era, such three-dimensional signs were essential markers for trades before standardized storefront signage.

The surface retains its original hand-painted finish with beautifully aged patina and wear consistent with outdoor display. The untouched painted surface gives the piece remarkable authenticity and presence.

A striking decorative object with strong historical narrative, ideal for collectors of Napoleonic memorabilia, French antiques, or architectural trade signs.

Origin: France
Date: Circa 1810
Material: Painted iron (toleware)
Dimensions: W 62 cm × H 24 cm
Condition: Original painted surface with age-related wear and patina
