Antique enameled sheet metal sign, intended to mark restricted or private access. This type of sign was commonly used in buildings, workshops, offices, courtyards, or private outbuildings. The understated and elegant design, with black serif capital lettering on a white background and a thin blue line, reflects the careful craftsmanship typical of French signage from the late 19th or very early 20th century. The sign has an elongated shape with scalloped edges, two original mounting holes, and a light, even patina from use.
