JUNE AUCTION

Lot 143: A Group of Four Large Gilt Cast Metal Architectural Signage Letters

Live auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £2

Buyer's Premium:

A group of four large architectural signage letters, comprising the characters A, S, L, and K (or V). Each letter is sand-cast in metal, likely aluminium, featuring a deep bevelled profile and finished with a polished gold-tone gilt surface. The pieces exhibit a slightly granular surface texture characteristic of the casting process. These items are typical of mid-to-late 20th-century commercial storefront signage from the British high street. No maker marks are visible; the letters currently bear various identification and auction lot stickers including the numbers 2 and 143.


Condition report:

The letters are in good overall condition, showing minor surface scuffs, light oxidation, and small areas of finish wear consistent with age and previous outdoor or commercial installation. Adhesive residue and paper stickers are present on multiple pieces.
