A traditional French enamel road sign reading “Allée du Bocage” — the kind once mounted on walls or gates to mark quiet residential lanes. Made from metal and finished in deep navy blue with white border and lettering, this piece has a lovely gloss to it and just the right amount of edge wear to show its age. A great piece of decorative signage for an interior wall, shed, kitchen, or studio.
