This old trade sign was intended to indicate the sale of raw sauerkraut in a grocery store, a delicatessen, or a deli counter. Its elegant, Alsatian-inspired typography, combined with a stylized red decor, immediately evokes the world of French regional specialties. Made on a rigid plate suspended by its original chain, it was a signage element visible from the counter or display window. Its particularly meticulous design makes it today a decorative piece sought after by lovers of old food businesses.
