My daughter has just finished a degree (with first class honours!) for Fashion Design for Performance.
She has specialised in making corsets and I was wondering if there are any known enamel signs for this, or vintage ladies fashion shops?
TIA

There is a large pictorial enamel sign for P & S Corsets in a very Art Nouveau style showing the image of a lady wearing the said garment - very risqué for the day but it was a stylised image rather than an actual human figure. There are images of this sign in the various Street Jewellery publications but I do have one of these actual signs buried in the garage somewhere, so unless someone else posts up a picture first I'll will dig it out and photograph it for you over the weekend.

Many thanks, Steve. Would love to see it.....
I have this old mirror...
Wow...she would love that, many thanks for posting!
What sort of price would that cost these days?
Cheers
heres a few that might be of interest...
the above is a repro i think (or possibly just late) and european as well i think.
this might be a good one seems as she must have spent a while on a sowing machine.
Hey up Vigman
No idea on prices these days but I've had this mirror for years and can't remember what it cost....knowing me probably not too much!
Hello Vigman,
Here is the sign I mentioned, from around 1900 - 1905 Size 5' x 3'
WOW
Nice sign that steve.Different to the norm,,call in for a cuppa and a chat next time you ride through dodge city.
Will do Joe. Thanks
Wow...thank you all so much. (I have health problems that sometimes keep me away from the computer for a few days on occasions, hence the delay in replying)
I wish I could find some like this, they are fantastic!!!!
What would I expect to pay for the P&S Corset sign, or similar, if I were lucky enough to come across one?
The one you see cost me about £530 about 8 years ago I think (doesn't time fly !!)
