Early 20th-Century French Wooden Epicerie Shop Sign - 77¼"

This early 20th-century wooden grocery store sign features charmingly hand-painted lettering. The bold word "ÉPICERIE" ("grocery store") is displayed in bright red against a muted, earthy green backdrop, adding a touch of rustic allure. Over time, exposure to the elements has naturally aged the paint and wood, giving it a beautifully weathered patina. 

Hand-painted wooden signs like this were commonly used to mark neighborhood grocery shops across France and were essential in small villages, where épiceries served as community hubs for daily provisions.

Today, such pieces are highly sought after for their authentic vintage appeal. This piece would make a stunning wall accent in a kitchen or pantry. Its rustic character and historical charm could also enhance a themed café or boutique, evoking nostalgia while adding authenticity to the setting.
