Antique enamel plaque bearing the inscription "Service d’hiver" (Winter Service), presented here with its original hanging system consisting of a hook and a metal chain. This type of tag was generally used in hotel, railway, or commercial settings to indicate seasonal operation. Its compact size, cut corners, and simple typography make it both a functional object and one full of character. The piece shows a noticeable patina with oxidation of the chain and wear on the edges, testifying to its age.
