“chefâ€sign-hand painted/crafted by pro,18½†round,bri
~Cut, crafted and hand painted by a professional sign maker, signs such as these usually cost a few hundred dollars to have made since they involve a lot of labour, time and expertise. This would make a wonderful addition to a bar, caf , restaurant, fair booth, home, patio, or anywhere a person wanted to make themselves or their establishment known.
~The entire chef s portrait, his clothes, his jolly face, and hand gesture of approval are all done freehand by a skilled, experienced artist and took more than an hour or two to paint. The strokes all add up to a very effective, pleasant statement that is hard to miss. Below it says, CHEF JIMMY CROOK s , which can be painted over with another name if desired. The freehand yellow and red border colours are very attractive and make this sign hard to miss!
~Measuring 18 in diametre, this round sign is made of heavy duty thick plywood, painted on the edges and sealed. It is likely to last a long time and sray well preserved.
~The condition of the sign is very good, with a couple of dings here and there that are hard to notice and don t take away from the use or looks of the sign. It shows some age and use, but has been loved and treated well, with no major damage or abuse visible.
