Well OT: Large 1950s illuminated shop display sign

  • Yeah, I know, it's not fecking Salvage Hunters mate, but I though perhaps to some amongst you this may appeal. Described by a friend as 'old crap masquerading as Art' this large home made carpet display sign has been in my possession for about 12 years but now sadly must go as it is not compatible with new small-Rod/Rodette, apparently.

    It's hand painted on glass with some damage and knocks but no breaks, the wooden box is fairly crude, it currently has an Ikea lamp hanging in it to illuminate it, and as per the instructions it is not complete (I have never had all the parts), the idea is the man is thinking of a carpet - which lights up in his massive head when the light goes on, I suspect it won't be that tricky to replace the carpet image with an image of something else, a coffee, or bike, or unicorn, I don't know.

    Anyway, it's big:
    99cm x 63cm x 16cm
    and heavy, located in Streatham Hill, I'd like £150 for it, I can't post it or pack it up for a courier either, sorry.








  • That’s pretty cool 😎 not my “thing” but cool all the same - sure someone will like it! GLWS

  • I love it!
    It seems to have fuck all to do with carpets, but it's the nuts!😂
