A beautiful antique glazed terracottastreet sign , bearing the simple inscription " RUE DU REPOS " (Rest Street) in white letters on a midnight blue background. Typical of signs made for cemeteries or streets adjacent to these memorial sites, this sign, with its slightly curved edges, features a glossy vitrified glaze and a substantial feel. The absence of visible perforations suggests it was originally mounted either recessed into a wall or set into the masonry.
