Superb industrial zinc stencils, formerly used for marking barrels or cases of wine in the cellars of the Médoc. Each design bears the name of an emblematic appellation of the Bordeaux wine region: Médoc , Margaux , and Saint-Estèphe , all three famous for their classified growths. These stencils were used to identify batches destined for export or for wine merchants. They feature beautiful industrial capital lettering, authentic wear, and a contrasting patina of blackened zinc. Sold individually.
