This enameled sheet metal Paris metro direction sign from the 1930s is a striking piece of urban history. Featuring bold lettering and directional cues, it offers a glimpse into the past with its classic blue and white color scheme, typical of Parisian signage design.

Crafted in durable enameled sheet metal, this sign points to several notable Parisian locations such as Place Balard and Pont de Sèvres. Its robust construction and clear typographic style reflect the practical and aesthetic considerations of the era’s public transportation signage.

The sign is in good vintage condition, with signs of wear, chipping, and rust that enhance its authenticity and character. Its industrial appeal makes it a perfect addition to a loft-style interior, where it can be mounted on an exposed brick wall or paired with metal and reclaimed wood accents for a bold, urban aesthetic. For a more unexpected touch, it could be styled in a kitchen or home bar, adding a touch of Parisian charm alongside retro lighting and café-inspired décor. Whether displayed in a study, hallway, boutique, or restaurant, this iconic metro sign brings a sense of history, design heritage, and timeless urban sophistication to any setting.
