An antique enamel sign indicating a business's closing time, bearing the inscription "Closed from 12:00 to 1:30." This type of sign was commonly used in shops, workshops, and government offices to signal the midday break. The black raised lettering on a white background and the square format are typical of French utilitarian signs from the first half of the 20th century. The significant wear on the corners and the chips in the enamel attest to its long and actual use.
