c. 1900 - 1915
This Trade Labour Exchange wall hanging sign once marked the heart of employment hubs during a pivotal era of industrial progress and social reform.
These 'labour exchanges' (now known as employment exchanges) were government institutions designed to support unemployed people find work and provide employers with information about available workers.
This sign boasts vibrant and bold colouring typical of early 1900s public signage. Its naturally aged patina, minor surface wear, and preserved detailing tell a story of decades gone by—perfect for collectors of antique advertising, social history artifacts, or vintage décor enthusiasts.
Ideal as a statement wall piece in a study, office, pub, or retro-themed interior.
A true collector’s gem, and increasingly hard to find in this condition, this Trade Labour Exchange sign is a unique slice of British social and industrial heritage.
Condition - Good antique condition with typical enamel ages related wear.
