Charming enameled villa plaque with late Art Nouveau or nascent Art Deco decoration, adorned with hand-painted mimosa branches. The property name, "Les Mathouzines," is associated with "Villa Parisy." The particularly elegant blue typographic characters, as well as the yellow and green floral decoration, evoke the seaside resorts and holiday destinations of the French Riviera or the Atlantic coast during the interwar period. Despite visible chips and old restorations at the corners, it retains strong decorative appeal.
