Antique oval shop sign made of thick enameled sheet metal, produced for the women's clothing workshop "Cipriotti – Furs." The marking "J. LACOSTE, ENGRAVER, ANGERS" corresponds to a manufacturer active between the late 19th century and the 1910s, specializing in high-quality enameled business signs. The lettering, blue embellishments, and threaded border confirm a Belle Époque production, designed to be affixed to the facade of a fashion or furrier's workshop. The chips around the edge attest to actual use, without detracting from the elegance of the domed enamel.
