picked this glass sign up recently....just love these one-off merchant and trade signs...extra-ordinary quality reverse painted with lots of gold leaf and superb graduated colour toning to the blue lettering...managed to find two companies by this name....one in Scotland and one in Bath---definately not the scottish company ...the Bath company still trades I believe...would love to hear of any other similar signs on glass or wood that might be available from any trade or just hand painted information signs..shop front name boards etc.

another recent acquisition...super large one-off 52" tall mahog coal merchants clock with reverse paint gold leaf on black glass sign....made by forrest with their usual fantastic paper trade label to the back

makers label on back of coal merchants clock

In my mind Forrest and Son were the best mirror and glass advertising tablet  manufacturers - I have several mega mirrors by them. They usually had a paper plaque, as above, on the reverse.

Regards Richard

 Lovely things - both of them 
Thanks for showing ..
