Draughts board

sold

My reproduction of an early draughts board, in a layered putty colour on faded black.
Made the same as the original, with missing front cleat, two split boards that have slightly shifted out of square, and applied trim attached with old square cut nails. 
A large, hefty board at about 35 x 20 inches. 

Articles de Fantaisie

sold
My reproduction of a 19th century shop sign from New Orleans' French Quarter, in a smaller size and different colour palette than the original.

Pine panel with applied moulding and rusty eye-hooks.
Just shy of 46 x 18 x 2 inches.

Cordonnerie Franco-Belge


sold

Large reproduction "Cordonnerie" sign, about 40"wide x 30"tall.

The original of this sign was lettered in gold. (...of which I'm not a fan.)  My version has the text in a warm taupe/straw colour, (which doesn't come across in this photo) on a hand-burnished black background, with "remnants" of trim and rusted tacks.
