ABOUT PRODUCTID 20620
This set of nine vintage enamel number plaques from Czechoslovakia, dating to the 1950s, is a testament to mid-century Central European industrial design. Each rectangular plaque is crafted from metal coated in enamel, with a slightly convex, pyramidal surface that creates a subtle three-dimensional effect. The vivid blue background contrasts with bold, centrally positioned white sans-serif numerals (1 to 9), framed by a narrow white border with rounded corners. Each corner features a pre-drilled mounting hole, showing minor traces of rust and patina. The enamel finish is smooth and glossy, with small chips, scratches, and signs of use consistent with authentic vintage pieces. The set remains in very good condition, with no visible signs of restoration, preserving its original character and collectible value.These plaques evoke the spirit of postwar Czechoslovakia—a period defined by clarity, durability, and a utilitarian approach to everyday objects. Their geometric shape, cool blue tone, and pared-back typography recall the streetscapes of mid-century Central European cities, where practical signage became an integral part of the urban fabric. Each number, though simple, carries the echo of old addresses, homes, and the silent chronicles of a bygone era.The set can be arranged as industrial wall art in a contemporary loft, an eclectic collector’s interior, or a gallery setting. The plaques pair well with exposed brick, concrete, or wood, as well as black metal accents and retro lighting. They can be displayed in a single row for a graphic effect or dispersed as individual details throughout a hallway, kitchen, or studio, where they will underscore an industrial scheme and introduce an element of typographic play.No additional technical information or care recommendations are provided.
