Antique Advertising - Early 20th Century Enamel Sign for a London Estate Agents
C.1930
An attractive and increasingly scarce early 20th century double sided enamel advertising sign on flange for a London estate agents Cockett & Henderson co, a firm with origins tracing back to the late Victorian and Edwardian period.
'To be Sold' example
The Cockett name — often associated with the well-known practice Cockett, Henderson & Gillow — was established in the late 19th and early 20th century, operating as land and estate agents, auctioneers, and surveyors during a formative period in London’s property development history.
This original double sided enamel sign displays the classic styling and craftsmanship associated with period commercial advertising, featuring strong typography and a clean, professional design typical of estate agency signage from the era. Pieces relating to property firms and professional services are notably harder to find than more common consumer advertising signs, making this an appealing item for collectors of architectural, business, and London ephemera.
With its authentic age-related character and striking decorative appeal, the sign would make an excellent addition to any enamel sign collection, interior display, office, study, or period-inspired setting.
